### input:
In October I went to the doctor for a yeast infection. They took a swab and said I tested positive for yeast. They prescribed me diflucan. The medication worked. In December my symptoms reappeared. I was prescribed a second round of diflucan. This did nothing to relieve my symptoms. I self treated with yogurt and a vaginal steroid to restore ph. It did relieve the itching and irritation. But I still went back to the doctor. She told me to keep doing what I was doing and scheduled me to see my OBGYN in 3 weeks. I have been told to use Rephresh gel applicators and was prescribed a steroid cream. I still have my symptoms external itching and my skin is very dry. Any suggestions in how to get through the next few weeks until my appointment with the OBGYN?
