Re: Question about Yeast Arrest

It always burns a little bit the first day for me. Then it goes away.

Hi--

I don't want to be discouraging as I know yeast arrest (boric acid) is really

effective in

treating yeast. That said, at this point for me I think it may have contributed

to my current

condition (constant burning and irritation). I had a yeast infection and was

still having

symptoms after using monistat and terconazole, so I moved on to yeast arrest

which I had

used in the past. It really burned me the whole time...and since now my theory

is that I had

some kind of allergic reaction to the topicals and probably didn't have an

infection

anymore, the boric acid just did a number on my skin.

All I'm saying is be careful! As best as you can (cause I know cultures aren't

100% accurate)

make sure you're dealing with an active yeast infection before you use those

suppositories.

If you continute to use them, you may want to try just coating the outer skin

with a barrier

of some kind, like vaseline or vitamin E oil, that will protect the sensitive

outer skin from

the boric acid.

Good luck,
