Nystatin topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection Reviews

"Glad I found these comments! I thought I was a freak. This is my second go-around with nystatin cream USP and the powder. I took a second dose of fluconazole (tablet) per doctor's advice, and she told me to continue use of the cream and powder (Nyamyc) even though I told her the cream seemed to make me itch and 'prickle' even more and contributed to the uncomfortable 'moisture.' I found the powder to calm the itch down enough to sleep at night and to keep the areas dry. My yeast infection is in the creases of my groin and on my vulva. A few random 'bumps' - 2 types - come and go, and the whole 'area' just feels irritated. I can't wear panties - they only aggravate the issue - I'm in nightgowns and muu muus! :( Will it ever go away?!"

"Turns out I'm in that small percentage of people that is allergic to nystatin. I would recommend applying to a small part of your skin first to see if you are allergic! I never ever want to go through that amount of pain again!"

"This nystatin is the worst medicine ever for a vag yeast infection. If you are prescribed this please ask for something different. My yeast infection is gone but this cream burns like fire. How long is it supposed to keep burning ?"

"It does it’s job the only problem is that it causes your skin to itch which is very irritating to my skin. It didn’t really itch with the yeast infection and now it’s itchy all the time whenever I use this cream"

"Instant Relief ! I am on antibiotics and nothing worked to stop the relentless itching except Nystatin Powder! I have never had any yeast infection that has been so stubborn. Soon as I applied this powder voila it stopped the itching in it's tracts! I haven't been able to stop this UTI's repeated return! I live in a 3 family and the pet upstairs and ours also came down with UTI's ! I am suspicious of the water it's from a res. We had run out of spring water and drank it. Also drinking mega spring water and cranberry compounds."

"Love this cream. No medication worked for me. Over-the-counter products did not work. My doctor has been working with me since last November. She prescribed Nystatin cream externally. It worked! At first, it itched bad but all medications from the past did. Burned a little. Sensations went away after a few minutes. Mild itching during treatment. So happy about this product. Was told to stop treatment after 7 days. Gave my care provider a great report. I am happy."

"Was prescribed this cream for external use for 10 days despite the extreme itch and irritation coming from inside. This cream made me itch 10x more. On the 4th day (today) of use I was so itchy it felt like I had poison ivy down there. Some got in the entrance and it was immediate FIRE. I had to use a wet rag to clean up as much of it as I could. I’m not using that anymore & just started using monistat 7. But I will say a lot of the clumpy discharge I had has disappeared but I still have occasional itching so not complete gone."

Nystop (nystatin) "Initially stopped the itching, burning, but 3 days later the itching and burning is back just as severely as before. This is being used in conjunction with Fluconazole Tablet 150 mg."

Pedi-Dri (nystatin) "This is supposed to stop the infection externally but it really did not help my irritation very much."

"Was hoping it would some what subside the itching and burning but it really hasn't."

"Nystatin was prescribed for my 4 yr old, it seemed to give her immediate relief. However wasn't as effective when prescribed to me. Maybe not strong enough for adults."

"I went to the dr today i have a yeast infection she gave me fluolzoa and nystatin cream it does stop itchibg for a few mins but its still just start using cream today"
