Jay -
I tried this ONCE. I am one of those particularly predisposed to nasty
yeast. Usually takes Dflucan to get rid of it. Well my doc was out of town
for 5 days and I could not last much longer as the OTC yeast creams were not
working. I knew about GV and got some from the pharmacy. At 1/2 strength I
applied it to my perineum. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SCREAM! It burned
worse than anything I have ever felt including: 3 un-medicated vaginal
births, ongoing yeast to the point of bleeding tissue and an episiotomy done
without drugs or pressure! I would NEVER recommend it to anyone for use on
that kind of tender tissue.

work for vag yeast. I told her I didn't know, but would ask
