I had a yeast infection this summer. Sometimes it DOES have a discharge and smells bad. Mine was just this itch so intense that my skin was raw and swollen from scratching in my sleep. They just gave me two pills and a cream that made it go away in a week. I'm not so sure about over the counter stuff...I'd read up on how well that works first.
You need to wear clothing and I mean washing is always good, but for a yeast infection they actually tell you to NOT stay in hot water. That's how the bacteria grows. They thrive in the wet heat which is how it happened in the first place. So either wash with cold or do it quickly, lol.
