Yeast infections are frustrating, uncomfortable, and unsightly. They might also be challenging to treat. But if you're willing to try a few simple things at home, you can get rid of your yeast infection in no time. What you must do is as follows:

1. Keep in mind your shower is clean first. Don't use any soap or lotion that contains alcohol in it. you'll just dry out the skin and make things worse for yourself.

2. Use a mild cleanser to wash your hands when going to bed, and then wipe them wet with a towel or washcloth.

3. Use an antifungal cream or ointment on the affected area twice daily until symptoms clear up (this usually takes about two weeks). If the ointment doesn't work after two weeks of use, it might be time for an antibiotic such as Diflucan (fluconazole). Doxycycline is another good option if you don't want to take an antibiotic medicine every day for three months like Diflucan requires; however, these medicines should not be taken together because they will lower blood sugar levels too much!
