I have a yeast infection for about 2 weeks now, how can I get rid of it. Ive taken diflucan, started eating plain yogurt, been eating garlic, but I still have it. Also I think I have it in my anal region too, Ive noticed white flaky skin around my anus. Please help im so tired of this. I am a 21 year old male
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Diflucan is the right treatment. You should continue it under your doctors' guidance. Anal fungal infection can only be possible if you have severe immunocompromised state. I suggest you should check your HIV and diabetes status. If its HIV immediately treatment for HIV is necessary. Please also apply Candide ointment this is also helpful for you locally. Anal region is potential dirty site. If you maintain good hygiene there than infection can be cured early. Other household remedies won't work like garlic and other. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
