Only ointment will not work. First get it properly diagnosed if it is fungal only. If yes then you need to take full course of oral anti fungal tablets.

Hello lybrate-user.
Fungal infections need long term and correct treatment that are modified from time to time depending on response. The infection has become very resistant. We would like to know your detailed history, see the condition and review previous treatments. Certain investigations of blood and skin may also be necessary. Hence kindly schedule a visit with a dermatologist near you or write to us to schedule an appointment. Wishing you health.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Are you sure that you are suffering from yeast infection ? Did you consult a doctor in person ? If the diagnosis is wrong, the treatment may not yield the desired result. Cuts or scratches could be due to dryness too. Please provide other symptoms. Symptoms vary and may include itching and rash at the affected site. Take care.

Hi lybrate-user
Burning is just a mild side effect of vaginal tablet. Just take a few precautions 1. Keep vaginal area dry
2. Do not use irritating soaps
3. Use cotton undergarments
4. Use cold water to soothe burning.

It was probably a fungal infection, especially if it showed good response to canesten. You need to continue it for atleast next 2 weeks to eliminate the causative agent completely otherwise it may recur.

Local application of coconut oil or mustard oil or some soothing and calming lotion may provide relief in itching. Neem is one among the best blood purifier and detoxifier known to ayurveda. It enhances immune system and neem oil is an antiseptic in itself. Leaf extracts are used in antiseptics and can be effectively used in treating skin diseases. It destroys fungus and bacteria and is best for almost all kinds of skin diseases including redness of skin and itching.

Hi, eukroma and revise cream have hydroquinone and tretinoin respectively both of which are to be used for a short duration of time for specific indications. The combination of eukroma and revise will be too harsh on facial skin so is not advisable. Reverse pigmentation and skin sensitivity can be the potential side effects if not properly used.

Hi lybrate-user. I strongly advise you to immediately stop using that cream and consult a Dermatologist. The redness on your face is a side effect of using that fairness cream for so many months. Ideally it is prescribed for hyper pigmentary conditions of the skin and to be used for only 3 weeks. Since you have used for 9 months, you are experiencing redness of face. Later you will develop more serious complicaations like pigmentation, atrophy, increased hair growth on face etc. Therefor stop it...more
