Managing a stubborn yeast infection, especially if you have diabetes, involves several steps:

1. Medical Treatment:
- Topical or Oral Medications: Some medications are available over the counter, while others require a prescription. For severe or recurring infections, long-term therapy may be necessary.

2. Home Remedies:
- Low-Carb Yogurt: Contains active cultures that can help ward off yeast growth.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Some members apply it on a cotton ball for skin yeast infections, but always consult your doctor before trying home remedies.

3. Preventive Measures:
- Keep Skin Folds Clean and Dry: This can help prevent infections in areas like the lower abdomen.
