    Question

    I've been having this itch, it's not an all-day itch. It's just pretty much before and after I shower. And I don't have money for a doctor. I think it might be a yeast infection and was wondering if without consulting a doctor, I should try Monistat??

    Answer

    Monostat is available over the counter, so sure, try it first, but if it does not clear up, please do see the doctor.
