I had such an issue with itching and the external yeast infection that I had to apply the antifungal and then on top of it use cortisone cream. I did that twice a day for a month.
I am so glad I got past my embarrassment and just asked if others have had this experience as I hadn't considered that it might be an external yeast infection. I did get one with clotrimazole - they had another one that was supposed to be stronger but it didn't have clotrimazole. Hopefully this will have an effect, this is been a lengthy problem so I don't expect it to go away in a week or two.
