It will go away on it’s own in two weeks or less. If it persists longer THEN you should see your doctor. Here is what you do: Use a warm wash cloth to GENTLY cleanse the vaginal area about 3 times a day. Get some panty liners (not pads) and always keep one on. Change about every hour or so. This will keep any discharge from further irritating your skin. Also, using wet wipes when you go to the restroom instead of toilet paper will be more soothing. Yeast infections usually are not serious and usually DO clear up on their own in a week or so.
