"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 its 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."

"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."

"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. As soon as I applied this powder, voila, it stopped the itching in its tracks! I haven't been able to stop this UTI's repeated return! I live in a 3-family house, and the pet upstairs and ours also came down with UTIs! I am suspicious of the water, it's from a residence. We had run out of spring water and drank it. Also, drinking mega spring water and cranberry compounds."

"Was prescribed this cream for external use for 10 days, despite the extreme itch and irritation coming from inside. This cream made me itch 10 times 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 and 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 completely gone."

Nystatin topical "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."

Nystatin topical "This is supposed to stop the infection externally, but it really did not help my irritation very much."

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

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

"I went to the doctor today. I have a yeast infection. She gave me fluconazole and nystatin cream. It does stop itching for a few minutes, but it's still just starting. I used the cream today."
