Yes, I can see where that would be embarassing for a guy. Monistat 7 day cream or any brand, it doesn't really matter. If you have "store brands" that's fine too and cheaper. Tell them it's for your girlfriend, LOL.

Haha NOOO!!! I will just go and buy Monistat 7 day cream then... I am assuming it's available in Canada.
Just out of curiousity--- if yeast infection is a systemic problem (in my case caused by tetracycline killing good bacteria that controls it) then how does a topical cream help? How do I know it hasn't begun to spread to other areas 'down there'?
Thanks. I just wanna make sure this cream will truly rid me of it.

You need to also get some probiotics (opposite of antibiotics) to take. Acidophilus caplets with live, good bacteria, or yogurt, or preferably both. I don't think the yogurt alone is strong enough and it's just easier to pop a caplet than to remember to eat yogurt everyday. Next time you take an antibiotic, start taking acidophilus also. Do not take it at the same time though. If you take it at the same time as the antibiotic, the antibiotic will kill off the good bacteria in the acidophilus. Take this through the whole course of the antibiotics and at least a week afterwards. If you have stomach issues from the antibiotics (diarrhea) it will help with that also. You can also take acidophilus all the time as it is just a good immune system booster.
I also take one teaspoon of garlic juice a day. This is a natural way to kill off yeast in your intestinal tract. I buy it at the grocery store where the spices are sold, or if you are really industrious, you can squeeze your own.
To answer your question about the topical cream, it works because you are growing yeast on your skin, but I agree you need to work on this systemically also so it doesn't come right back.

Cool. Sounds good. I will go to the pharmacy this week and get that taken care of.
Thanks soo much for all your help. I was terrified it was one of those cysts of ingrown hair that requires surgery and such and... yeah it really was gonna be terrible for my young, vibrant, sexy conscience
. I think a yeast infection sounds just about right.

. I think a yeast infection sounds just about right.BTW, can this be solved without the topical stuff, and just by taking probiotics? Because it's hard to tell the exact boundaries of the skin problem itself.
Also, in the shower today I noticed it's not really all stining and burning, just one point is especially. I really hope that doesn't mean it's one of those cyst things. But as soon as the area behind my anus itself (sorry, graphic I know) is pulled apart, like if I pull my buttocks apart a bit, THEN it stings!!!
Still most likely a yeast issue? Cuz it's not scaly or overy dry... just red.
