Why Your OTC Yeast Infection Cream Burns

Your OTC yeast infection cream burns you for one major reason, and you can also get the feeling that it's burning when it's just the infection getting worse. OTC yeast creams will cure a high percentage of vaginal yeast infections first time, but for some women they have problems, and suffer from side effects from the treatment.

OTC cream side effects

The main reason why your OTC yeast infection cream burns you is a side effect of the active ingredient, miconazole. This is the part of the cream that kills the fungus, but unfortunately for some women they are allergic to this part of the cream so they can't use it. If you do suffer from any side effects from using an OTC yeast cream you should go and see your doctor about it.

Other side effects from OTC or prescription yeast infection creams are...

Increased itching
Urge to urinate more often

More serious side effects of these creams That need immediate medical attention are...

Swelling of your lips, face, or tongue
Closing of your throat
Hives
Shortness of breath

If you suffer from any side effects of using anti fungal creams you need to stop using the treatment right away. A doctors appointment is advised especially if you suffer from more than just burning.

Yeast infection getting worse

For some women it can feel as though the OTC yeast infection cream burns, but it can be the yeast infection is just getting worse. If the cream has been used a lot in the past the yeast in your vagina can now be resistant so every time you use the cream the yeast just mutates into a stronger strain of fungus. This is the Candida's natural defense system which all fungus and bacteria have. They all eventually become resistant to any treatment if they're exposed to it often enough.

On occasions though, the yeast causing your infection can be a strong strain of fungus depending on the cause of your infection. If it's due to antibiotics use then the yeast could have already mutated into a strain that an OTC yeast cream has no effect on apart from making it stronger which can make it feel like the cream is making you feel worse. This can lead you down the road of continually trying more powerful prescription yeast infection treatments until you discover the real cause of your infection, and then start addressing the cause first
