You will have to clear the yeast infection up... so ask her for "nystatin" which is a topical for the outside area.. more along the steroid side... and this will help with the cuts.. (which is most usually caused by the over growth of yeast) and yes sometimes itching.
now after you visit the doctor go and get the 7 day treatment... i recommend this because you are on that shot and the situation will continue so you want to clear it up and then start using the relaguard towards the end of treatment for the yeast...
since you have been taken the depo your body is reacting to it... this is normal ... for some and not for others..
kinda like when you take antibiotics they throw all balance of your vajay jay out the dam window.. and thanks to my perm meds for my kidneys I have to use this myself... (ps... my bf loves it though) keeps things flowing...lol
so head to the docs and write this information down so you do not forget when you get there. Also you can use this cream for as long as your on the shot. Its not like an anitbiotic so you take it as long as your on the shot and all should be well..
as for things being all cleared up... if you get on it, Im pretty sure things will not be all funky by the end of the month.. also if you want to email me later in private about this type of matter thats fine.
good luck
