Is vulvovaginal candidiasis necessarily treated with infrared heat?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is likely a fungal vaginitis, mostly caused by Candida albicans.
Treatment: Wash the external genitalia or soak in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Apply a 2% gentian violet solution locally. Nystatin is highly effective.
Usage: Insert 100,000 U vaginal suppositories twice daily (morning and evening) into the deep vagina for 5 days. Wash the external genitalia and apply nystatin ointment locally.
