because of blood glucose problems, i have a problem with yeast infections. my MD has told me to wear loose clothing that does not hold perspiration. when washing the infected area, don't use soap as that will throw off the bacterial imbalance even more, especially antibacterial soap. instead, just rinse. dry thoroughly. let the natural bacterial balance right itself on its own. if it's a hairy body area, trim it so that it holds less moisure. sometimes, doing less is better.
