Outer Yeast Infection ?

Has anyone experienced a outer yeast infection , ( on the vag lips , and around it ) after having a baby ? i might have one , and its very itchy and painful. so i was wondering if anybody has had one !

Ice packs and letting air get down there is what i found out helped alot..still used the OTC creams and stuff but cold is soooo nice!

I sleep naked on a towel at night since im still bleeding .
not too much thou .
i usually sleep with a ice pack between my legs ..

did you have one ?
i really wish itd go away it sucks so bad !
i took a pill thats suppose to get rid of it if thats what it is !

I had them through my entire pregnancy. I slept with an ice pack that was wrapped in a hand towel between my legs, plus applied the cream before bed. It burned to pee so bad, and it was really terrible. Not much you can do.

I would suggest using the suppository, or putting a tablespoon of organic, sugar free plain yogurt inside yourself. It will help get rid of the yeast. The pills don't really work as well.

if its on the outside why would i put something on the inside ?

Uh, it's a yeast infection regardless of where it's located. The problem is the overgrowth of the bacteria. Inside or out, you're still helping but putting medicine (or.. yogurt in this case) near the source.

No worries =) best of luck.
Natural, organic, sugar/flavour free yogurt is very good to use as it's not full of chemicals. It works everytime for me. You can even use a bit on the outside to provide itch relief. Also try having oatmeal baths, sort of like when you have chicken pox.

If its on the outside It is on the inside. You may not be discharging a whole lot but its because of whats going on inside. Also, Yogurt, eat a yogurt a day and you will be amazed what the probiotics in it do to help. Then when its gone at least one a week. Monestat (suppositories) or the actual stuff, miconezole I believe is what its called. Anyways after the first one. Inner and outer itch went away
