Hi there, brandii.
Ideally, we don't want to try and self-diagnose and treat any kind of infection unless there's just no other option. Let's see what your options might be first, and if there really isn't another way, let's at least help you be as sure as you can be about what this is and the best way to treat it.
Where are you on vacation? Most places in developed nations will have clinics and other kinds of care available for people visiting. Let's see if we can't locate some health care for you first, alright?

well i’ve had a yeast infection before and i’m experiencing the same symptoms as before so that’s why i think it’s a yeast infection. i’m in mexico, but i think it’d be easier if i just treated it with something i could get over the counter.

Hi brandii,
Have you noticed any pharmacies with staff that you could talk to about the symptoms that you are having? They would be more educated to be able to point you in the direction of an over-the-counter medication that could help.
