Could be a bacterial infection, instead of yeast.
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period
If it's yeast, consider these:
*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight pants
*Wear cotton underwear during the day
*Wear no underwear to bed
Here's some things to try. I've tired the first two and know they work:
1. Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.
2. Mix a tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide in a cup of water and pour over the area.
3. Fill a bathtub with just enough warm, not hot, water to create a sitz bath (enough water to cover your groin and just up to your belly). Add 2 cups of raw apple cider vinegar and sit in the bath with your knees folded toward your body (not stretched out flat). You can stay in this bath mixture for 15 minutes. Gently pat dry and make sure you are very dry before putting any clothes on. Wear only cotton underpants, preferably washed in natural unscented detergent.

Go back to the doctor. It sounds like you might have another yeast infection, a bacterial infection (bacterial vaginosis), or both. Yeast infections are white and chunky, like cottage cheese, and itchy, but bacterial infections cause a yellow discharge. Neither of these infections are serious.
This is probably why you have a bacterial infection now:
Every girl has bacteria and yeast in their vagina. They balance each other out. When one starts to overgrow, like your yeast a few weeks ago, you get a yeast infection. When you took the medicine, it decreased the yeast, which increased the bacteria, which is maybe why you have a bacterial infection now. It's really irritating but it happens. I found that the way to get rid of the yeast infection was to take the pill Difluken. Your doctor will know and I would ask the doctor for a prescription for whichever one you have.
You are seeing a gynecologist, right? Family doctors are required to take 3 years of residency in general medicine whereas gynecologists go through 4 years of residency specifically in gynecology. As my gyno likes to say, "Family doctors don't know the difference between a vagina and an elbow." A gyno will help you more than a family doctor will.

Looks like that infection maybe didn't clear up & you need a stronger dose ..If your having sexual intercourse your bf might have it as well & you guys are basically playing ping pong. It might also be a bit more serious like BV..You should def run to the doctor & tell all..Hope this helped.
