More women are now creating miconazole resistant Candida infections with their OTC yeast creams. They continually apply the cream to their vaginal infection even if it isn't working, or they don't even need the cream in the first place. It doesn't take that long at all for the fungus to become resistant.

The biggest mistake women make with attempting to cure their yeast infection with the anti fungal OTC creams is, the vaginal itching is only a symptom of their infection. To keep applying anti fungal cream to a symptom is not going to work ever, but because of their doctor's advice, these women think this is how they cure a yeast infection.

The Candida yeast lives in your body all the time, and it has been there for years. You haven't just been infected with it, your body has just lost control of it. Up until you started suffering from your symptoms your body was keeping the yeast under control which was making it harmless. Now it has mutated into a fungus because your body's natural defenses are not doing their job properly.

The yeast will grow in numbers when your body's natural defenses have been compromised. This is when it will mutate into an infection causing fungus, and then your symptoms start. Fungi love a warm, moist place to breed in, and that is why the symptoms of a yeast infection are worse in the vagina.

Just because your vagina has the worst symptoms doesn't mean that it the only place you're infected. This is why anti fungal creams don't cure yeast infections, they just treat the vaginal symptoms. Even when someone uses an OTC yeast cream and it stops their symptoms, the infection is still going on inside their body.

To cure your fungal infection you have to get your body's natural defenses back to the strength they were at before so your body can stop the yeast from mutating. This is the only way you'll remove the fungus from your body.
