Patient's question:
What medication is good for mild moldy vaginal candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis may cause recurring vaginal itching and a cottage cheese-like discharge. You should have a vaginal discharge test done at the hospital. If it is confirmed to be a fungal infection, you can use vaginal medication, such as clotrimazole suppositories. After completing a course of medication, return to the hospital for a follow-up test to see if it has healed on its own.

It can lead to increased discharge, itching, redness, swelling, and a bad odor in the external genital area. The discharge is like cottage cheese.
