YI and treatment

I think I might have a yeast infection, because I've been awfully itchy the past day or so, but I'm not sure. I have an OTC treatment, should I use it?

If it's not a YI and just itchy for whatever reason, will the OTC treatment harm me in any way?

Thanks!

Hi BBB, welcome back!

An OTC if it's not the proper medicine probably won't hurt you directly but it could allow your condition to become worse. If you are sure from past experience with your symptoms that you have a YI and if your medicine is still in date and worked for you in the past then you shouldn't have a problem. Let us know how you're doing.

Good luck,
