I’m getting over an internal yeast infection. Discharge is pretty much gone but the lower vaginal opening area and the sides of the Vestibule feel tight and a little red irritated. If I look closely at the vestibule it looks like a red line indent .. like a crack…Not sure if this is the yeast subsiding or my LS acting up. Since yeast can cause cracks too..Maybe the YI aggravated it? I’m so confused with these as they tend to come same time 😞. Anyone have anything similar? Can I use coconut oil for the time being?

When you get yeast infections while using the Clobetasol (or whatever steroid) is it on the outside or inside? I ask because I’ve gotten multiple YI and all are inside. But I’m also 51 perimenopausal and apparently it’s common at my age for infections during the estrogen drop. I was using Clob but less then half pea size amount on just a few spots on vulva …

I’m 51 no periods in 6 months. I have LS. I use the clob (maybe not enough) a few times a week. Sometimes I cannot tell what’s what. The skin looks a little patchy and crinkly a little red. I think it sounds more like LS but honestly sometimes I just can’t tell 😑given my age. Anyone have any idea on this?
