Brief Answer:
need some details

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

Before answering your query I want to ask few questions-
- Are you diabetic?
- Since how long you have these symptoms?
- Are you having any vaginal discharge or odour?
- Are you taking oral contraceptive pills, using IUD, or any other medication?
- Since how long you are taking these medication(vaginal cream)?

There are many causes other than a yeast infection, which can cause these symptoms.

It can be due to bacterial vaginosis, STD and chemical irritants (perfumes, soap, condom, deodorant etc.)

Sometimes symptoms subside without any treatment, if they persist then it requires treatment.

Please revert back to me with my answers, so I am able to give my opinion to you.
Happy to hear from you soon.

Thanks
Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
