How can you care for yourself when you have candidiasis?
- Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if you think you are having a problem with your medicine.
- Use antibiotics only as directed by your doctor.
- Eat yogurt with live cultures. It has bacteria called lactobacillus. It may help prevent some types of yeast infections.
- Keep your skin clean and dry. Put powder on moist places.
- If you are using a cream or suppository to treat a vaginal yeast infection, don't use condoms or a diaphragm. Use a different type of birth control.
