I'd also strongly suggest that you dump that doctor. It should be quite obvious to you that she doesn't know crap about your situation.
The drugs Paul is recommending are commonly used to treat things like athlete's foot and jock itch. There is also packaging for treating women's yeast infections. They may vary in the percentages of active ingredients, so it's wise to read the labels and follow the cautions.
A little trick women have used for years before such preparations became available, is to use common yogurt to help rebuild the natural flora which should be protecting your genitals from attack by the bad guys. While you will commonly have the bad guys living there along with the good guys, when you become too fastitious in your personal hygiene, you can kill off too many good guys and allow the bad guys to take over. Try putting a little bit of yogurt with live culture under the skin and let it stay there. The acidophilus and other Russian sounding bacteria will then start to grow and naturally kill off the yeasts and whatever else may be causing the distress. Use plain yogurt, and be sure to read the lable for live cultures.
Once you have the problem in control, quit using antibacterial soaps to clean your genitals. Ordinary soap will get the stinky stuff off, and the inside parts under the foreskin need only plain water to stay healthy. Do you have any questions?
