• Recurrent or resistant infection will require specialist urogenital input.  e.g. Chalmers Centre. Note recurrent or persistent symptoms may indicate that the cause of symptomsis not candidiasis (i.e. Candida may be an incidental finding)
• Intravaginal and topical clotrimazole may have a damaging effect on latex condoms and diaphragms.
• External creams need to be applied for seven days after symptoms have cleared.
