Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about how to treat your skin after having a yeast infection. First you need to be sure the yeast infection is clear. Over teh counter are several vagianl yeast preparations. After treatment I recommend using desitin skin protectant. This is the same cream used by baby to protect their bottom from irritation. Also bag balm may help.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again for your health care concerns and questions
