I'm assuming your using over the counter creams. Go to your doctor and get the oral medication it will get rid of it in a day with one pill. I suggest this because it might not be a yeast infection they are usually not that persistant unless its something your using to cause it. Your doctor can tell you what things not to do or use to prevent you from getting them.

You need to go to your dr and get a perscrition strengh yeast infection medication. Until them try using an OTC antil itch cream, and each some yogrut. In fact a all natural cure for a yeast infection is to "douche" with plain yogurt (live cultures) but seing that you have already treated this yest infection once and it came back you might need to get something strong. Also you might want to talk to your sexual partner, if your BF has a yeast infection he can be giving it to you.

You should not be having yeast infection this regularly....your body is not accepting something you are doing......
1st - you need to see a gyn
b/c if it keeps coming back it may be something a little more serious than a y-i
2nd - you probably need to change to another detergent that you are washing ur clothes in
3rd - you may need to change soap
4th - if you are using anything with perfume down there plays a huge roll
5th - try wearing cotton and white panties
6th - try wearing a panty liner everyday, so that ur body will not come in contact with ur panties
7th - there is and herbal pill you can take everyday call acidolophilce(the spelling is wrong, but I will get the correct spelling to u)
8th - try eating yogurt(its the same as the pill I mention in 7)
The reason I know so much about this area, b/c I was affected by the same thing...
9th when all else fail check ur man....Men do not realize that they can come in contact with this infection and can transfer it to another female...
But 1st and for most seek a doctor....

go to a GNC and buy this natural good bactiria call ProBiotic Asodopholius.. it will put in good bacteria. And get some yeast infection treatment ointment.. it will really help the itch and smell. Also If you want to take it a step further you can do something called a "Candistroy Cleanse" you can also buy that at a GNC... It will get rid of all that bactiria that's causing the infection..
***********VERY IMPORTANT!: Switch to cotten panties.. NO THONGS!! If you do wear thongs alot that could be the cause.
good luck!! ^_^

go to your doctor, get a prescription for diflucan. also, there is over the counter medication. yogurt with live cultures will help prevent yeast infections if you eat it every day or often. fell better!

I think you should by some over the counter medication like Monistat 7 or some other ones they sell. You could also go to the doctor if you have insurance and they'll prescibe you a better one. Also if you are sexually active I would get a sexually transmitted disease test, just to be on the safe side. Good Luck!

Garlic douche, honest.
2-5 large cloves garlic, warm water, liquify in blender, strain (in a cheesecloth, then rinse & save or discard), then use this solution as a douche. Neutralizes itch & heat immediately (aaaah). Repeat once, twice a day, you'll be good to go in no time.
I've done this and rely on it.
