When we have an annoying health issue, such as vaginal itching, most of us will head to the pharmacy to find a product to relieve the itch. Products that contain benzocaine are designed to block or dull the itching sensation in the nerve endings in and around your vagina. Anti-fungal drugs have a number of possible side effects such as: mild stinging, reddening, blistering, peeling of the skin, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face and tongue, or severe allergy. With repeated use, the fungal microbes in your vagina may become resistant to any particular drug. The word, “resistance” in medical terms describes the process of adaptation where organisms learn to overcome things that would otherwise kill them. So even though you may have successfully treated your Candida, thrush or yeast infection using one particular anti-fungal medication in the past, the day may arrive where it ceases to be effective for you.
