If you have been diagnosed previously with a candidiasis infection, you may want to use a nonprescription yeast medicine the next time you have a yeast infection. See your health care provider promptly if you have repeated yeast infections within a 2-month period or a yeast infection that persists despite treatment.

Avoid wearing a wet bathing suit or damp clothing for long periods of time.
