What's the solution for chronic yeast infections possibly caused by dryness from Accutane?

As a gynecologist with over 25 years experience, I see so many women with itching and irritation and they assume they are having yeast infections. When I do a history and exam, we discover that it is not yeast but something else, like lichen sclerosis, lichen simplex or more commonly, a contact dermatitis.
The Accutane probably caused severe dryness, but then this morphed into chronic inflammation with scratching and other irritants. If you have not seen a board-certified gynecologist, I definitely recommend that. Avoid all scented soaps on your vagina and also try applying Aquafor after wiping, which can be very soothing.

Dear unhappy patient.
I would suggest you to see a gynecologist who can exam you to find out what is the issue.
I general Co2 laser or Radiofrequency microneedling like Morphous8V are a good option to increase collagen in vaginal wall which as result it will increase moisture of vagina.
Good Luck and Best of health.

hi, it's been a long time since you took actutane. I'm not sure if it's down to it, but in your case prp or mesotherapy would work great for vaginal dryness.

The use of Accutane 7 years ago is unrelated to your current symptoms. You should seek consultation with a gynecologist.

Taking Accutane seven years ago would not be responsible for vaginal dryness today. I encourage you to begin by visiting with your OB/Gyn to look into the yeast infections. You can consider non surgical interventions such as Morpheus8v to improve vaginal dryness. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Hi, using isotretionin may cause vaginal dryness, painful intercourse , loss of libido.... while shrinking the oil glands this effects vaginal dryness. The mucosa becomes thinner, the vagina more vulnerable to developing yeast infection . We can do vaginal laser treatments for dryness and vaginal atrophy.
