Stubborn Yeast Infection?

Q. I've taken Diflucan 3 times in six weeks. My vagina feels almost swollen shut and my labia feels extremely swollen and hot as well. I've been taking Motrin but that doesn't help. I've been putting yogurt on/in it as well and still no relief. I've also tried epsolm salt and water but nothing is giving me relief. What can I use for swelling and itching?


Answer
For the itching and swelling I would recommending using organic coconut oil. Coconut oil is one of the most effective treatments for itching. It can be applied to any areas of the skin that are itchy, red or inflamed.

For genital or anal itching apply the oil liberally, using cotton pads from the health store to protect your clothing during the day. You can also make your own pads using 100% cotton.
At first coconut oil increases skin rashes, itching, inflammation, and dry skin. Toxins coming out make the skin very dry. However, these reactions are part of the healing processes that will change and improve as you continue on a healthy program and keep applying coconut oil.

What makes skin prone to diaper rash?




P.Y.T.23


My daughter often gets bad diaper rash. I've tried every cream you can think of, including Bag Balm. Any advice or ideas why this happens so often??


Answer
Probably a yeast infection. Try olive oil or coconut oil (yes, the foods). They both, especially the coconut oil, are antifungal. You might try making baby wipes instead of using store bought ones for a while. You can use Bounty napkins, a roll of Job Squad towels cut in half, or even reusable washclothes for this. Put them into a sturdy plastic box with a lid. Mix some Burt's Bees baby soap (shave a good amount in), coconut oil (3 Tbsp), and 2 cups of hot water together and pour over the napkins. Hope that helps!
