My sister noticed a little patch of ringworm on her leg about a week ago and now it has spread all over her torso and the top part of her legs. She has been using monistat for several few days and it hasn’t helped at all. If it doesn’t go away in about a week or so, she is going to go to the doctor. Do you know of any home remedies that work? Especially over such a large area? Thanks! :)

How to safely treat yeast infections during pregnancy?




I’m 13 weeks pregnant and went to my midwife today. She just looked and said she thinks i have a yeast infection. She didn’t send anything to the lab or anything…She wrote me a prescription for Monistat but since I have Medi-cal , the pharmacy gave me a generic 7-day treatment. On the instructions, it says only use during pregnancy when CLEARLY necessary.

My question is, is it safe to use? How far do I apply the cream?

Also, can it cause miscarriage ? I"m very worried.

I just found out that i’m pregnant, and am wondering if that might be the reason why my yeast infection won’t go away. I’ve used the full treatment of monistat and a full treatment of terazol. Saw the doctor who did a swab for other "infections", but just from the naked eye, he said it still looked like it was just yeast. Any thoughts on treatment of infections during pregnancy? Thanks in advance.
