What is the cream for yeast infection?

Ah, yeast infections…one of those pesky things that no one likes to talk about but everyone has dealt with at some point in their lives. Sometimes you just know when one is coming on – that telltale itch and burn down under – while other times it can sneak up on you like a stealthy ninja.

But fear not, my faithful readers! There’s hope yet for those who are plagued with this uncomfortable and downright annoying condition. And what’s the magical solution, you ask? Why, cream of course! But before we dive into the specifics of what kind of cream to use and how to use it, let’s discuss exactly what a yeast infection is.

A Brief Overview: What Exactly is a Yeast Infection?

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of fungi known as Candida albicans (not to be confused with Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter). This fungus naturally lives in our bodies, namely in warm and moist areas such as the mouth or genital area.

However (phew, insert sigh of relief here), when there’s too much Candida present or it gets out of balance with other bacteria in your body, then BOOM! You’ve got yourself a yeasty situation down below. Symptoms include itching and burning sensations around your private parts (akin to trying on jeans after indulging in way too much pizza) along with redness or swelling.

Now onto(yes)the million-dollar question: what type(s)of creams should you use if you’re dealing with such hormonal imbalance?

(Insert drum roll please)

Creams That May Help Treat Yeast Infections

Before grabbing any old tube off the shelf labeled “WONDER CREAM FOR YO BITS,” make sure it actually contains active ingredients that work against yeast infections. Products containing clotrimazole (weird name right?), miconazole, and tioconazole (now that’s just a mouthful) are typically effective in treating yeast infections. Hydrocortisone may also be included to relieve the itching and swelling.

Clotrimazole Cream

Clotrimazole works by damaging the cell membranes of Candida albicans, which then leads to their death (OMG). This type of cream is generally used for vaginal yeast infections but can also be applied topically for other types of skin-related fungal infection.

Miconazole Cream

Similar to clotrimazole, miconazole helps break down the cell walls of Candida albicans. Fun fact: this drug compound was first introduced in Japan (kon’nichiwa!)for use as an agricultural pesticide before being appropriated into ~lady bits~ medicine treatments worldwide (go figure).

Tioconazole Cream

The almighty tioconzole cream not only destroys those pesky fungi causing your discomfort but it does so rather quickly too – taking as little time as one day (yayyyyy)to start seeing results.

Now that we’ve reviewed a few different options on what kind(s)of creams you can get over-the-counter for yeast infections(insert clapping sound effect here), let’s talk about how these creams should actually be administered onto or inside your body(or frankly anywhere).
