Hi there! I'm so glad you replied--thank you! Yes, there are lots of things you can do to prevent yeast infections, if this is what it turns out to be. Here is the link to our yeast infection section on EmpowHer--as you'll see there is a ton of great info here and there's a whole subsection on prevention:

Right at the top it talks about changing out of wet swimsuits as soon as you can. I know this is sometimes easier said than done but if you can do it, it will really help. From talking with friends who get them, wearing all cotton panties that aren't too tight also helps. Really, I think just about all of these tips are things I've heard from girlfriends who also deal with yeast infections.

Please post again when you can to let me know how you are doing. Hopefully you can see a doctor soon and get on the medication and feel better again very soon! Being itchy "down there" is just the pits! Big hugs, Michelle
