I've had thrush for a while now and the itching has gotten so bad that I've actually caused myself to bleed on several occasions. I went to see the GP and they firstly gave me 1% clotrimazole cream which didn't work.
I went back again and they gave me 2% clotrimazole cream and an oral pill. It worked for a bit, but I still felt the itch here and there, but nowhere near as bad as it used to be.
Lately the itch has come back and I've been applying the cream. Last visit to the GP, they took a swab for anything else it could be and said if they find something that they'd call me, but they've not called at all, so it's not an STI. The itch isn't internal, might I add. It's on the tops of my left inner thigh and along the front of my womanhood (for a more tasteful term).
Roll on about a week - 2 weeks. I've purchased more cream and a pessary, I've used the cream and just now used the pessary but is there anything else I can possibly do to stop this itch and rid this infection?
As for my diet, before anyone asks, I eat healthy food, the only unhealthy habits I do have is drinking Coca-Cola near constantly rather than juice or water - I've tried to quite drinking cola but it's incredibly difficult for me. And I also vape 6mg Nicotine e-juice as I have quit smoking and in turn will eventually be quitting vaping too.
I have had multiple blood tests done but none have come back with diabetes, and I'm not entirely sure if it runs in the family.
Please help! The worse itch is always the top of my inner thigh and along the front of my privates.
