Hi doctors! so, for vaginal yeast infection, i've been using canesten clotrimazole 1% vaginal cream and clotrimaderm clotrimazole 1% cream. By the day I started the treatment, my itching and burning were already gone, discharge was there, and it would itch only when touched. It's day 3, and I have no symptoms of the infection now. The vaginal cream reads apply for 6 days, and the itching cream says to use on the affected area only. So, my question is, should I stop using these creams now since there are no symptoms anymore?

It's better to complete the course of 6 days for the infection to subside.
