| 2 | Minor itching. I thought was yeast. | Extreme burning and itching. Redness. Severe swelling. | First, I want to say that I had used Monistat products in the past, multiple times, with no problems other than the very minor increase in burn/itch when I first applied the cream. This would then subside within a few minutes and all would be fine. However, this time I applied the cream and immediately had extreme burning and itching. I thought maybe I had just forgotten how intense it could be and I felt I needed to leave the medicine on and endure it, that it would pass. I even resorted to using an ice pack to try to help the burning feeling. After half an hour or so, I could not take it any longer and rinsed it all off and soaked in cold water. That's when I saw that my vagina was extremely swollen and red, lumpy swelling. It looked (and felt)horrible. The next day I went to my doctor and he said I had had an allergic reaction. The swelling was down a bit by then, but still not gone completely. He prescribed an antihistamine tablet and a different type of cream to use on the area. **It is important to note that he tested me for yeast and I was negative. It makes me wonder if that is why I had such a horrible reaction to the medicine, because I did not have a yeast infection. The doctor said he could not confirm or deny if that was the case, but for me to not use this product in the future. | F | 43 | 1 times 1X day | 8/4/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | BURNING, ITCHING, SWELLING, BLISTERS, FELT LIKE MY UNDERCARRIAGE WAS HIT BY A TRUCK and then SET ON FIRE!!!. Could not sleep for 2 nights or go to work 3 days. | Never use this product. This needs to be taken off the market. I have read nothing but bad reviews for the past 3 excruciating days. Too many woman have suffered. | F | 38 | 0 days 3 3X day | 5/25/2021 | 5 | Yeast Infection | I am reading all of these women's issues with the intense burning sensation right after they took it. People, have some patience!!! It is burning because it is a medication, on a very sensitive part of your body, and it is healing an INFECTION. Damn it people dont knock it cause you cant take the healing process. If you have a yeast infection, and you want it gone, take monistat, i recommend monistat 1, because you only have to take it the once. But just be patient and realize you WILL have to endure some uncomfortable irritability, but it will get RID of it in less than 24hrs, and just think of the RELIEF!!!!! You can never get something for nothing, you should know that. Gosh Darnit. :) | F | 22 | 1 days | 2/23/2007 | 1 | yeast infection | severe burning, itching | I took the first night's dose of a drugstore version of Monistat-3 combo pack and immediately had severe burning & itching & feeling of need to urinate. I couldn't get relief so took something to help me sleep. This morning, still serious burning, itching & haven't taken the morning dose of external cream yet. Thanks, ladies, for posting b/c you've just kept me from making it worse. I'll call the doc on Monday & get something else. This is really nasty! | F | 48 | 1 days | 11/5/2006 | 1 | Yeast infection | TERRIBLE BURNING, ITCHING, it felt like my insides were on fire! After some investigation, it appears that this is a reaction that only "a few" women experience, and so Monistat and the FDA have not considered it necessary to put a warning on the package that you might have this severe reaction to the product! | We can try to make a change: file a report with the FDA through MedWatch at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/ Do this so we can save other women from the pain we have suffered! Can you imagine if there was a male product marketed with the attitude, "For 95% of men, this product will clear up your infection. Some men however will experience severe burns on their penis that may cause lasting pain upon any stimulation, even if your boxers just brush up against your skin. But such a reaction is only experienced by a small group of men." It would never fly! We can't let this happen to us! | F | 26 | 1 days | 3/29/2007 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Burning, itching, swelling, unbearable pain | I would not recommend Monistat 1 to my worst enemy. I thook the Monistat 1 when I noticed the irritation. Big mistake. Moments after I applied it, it burned like hell!!! Horrible nights sleep, and the cream did little to assist. This continued the next day, then the next day. I was unable to walk or sit. It was even harder to concentrate at work. I went to my GYN only to find out that it caused a chemical burn. Now I am taking medication to rid the chemical burn. Pure torture!! Avoid the Monistat 1 at all cost. | F | 33 | 1 days | 1/17/2008 | 1 | Yeast infection | Burning, stinging, blistering | I took monistat 1 big mistake I woke up with severe burning it was so severe my whole vulva is swollen and 2 days later I formed blisters I went to the er and the doctor took a observation test and is telling me I have herpes now with out even testing me she kept saying this had nothing to do with monistat which I think is ridiculous now I have to wait until a obgyn is available to see me it burns when I pee, wipe, walk, put on clothes anything it is so tender | F | 22 | 1 days 1X day | 11/7/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Chemical burns on my vulva and inside my vagina. Thought it was Genital herpes that’s how severe the blisters are from this product. | F | 22 | 1 days | 4/26/2019 | 1 | Yes | I caught a yeast infection after staying in my workout clothes too long. I bought the 3 day Monistat, and the next morning was in excruciating burning agony. Immediately stopped using the product, but still had my itch. My doctor prescribed Difulcan, which stopped the itch, but I noticed and felt a horrible blister in my vulva area. I'm afraid, and have made an appointment with my OB/GYN. NEVER using Monistat again. | F | 48 | 1 days | 6/21/2019 | 1 | Yeast infection | Burning, itching | I have used monistat many times in the past and never really had a reaction. I had a very mild yeast infection so I went with the 1-day. I used the insert and everything was okay for the first day. The second day I had extreme itching so I used the external cream, which I don't usually do because it has made the burning of my yeast infections worse, but since it was so itchy this time I decided, why not. I used it twice a day for a couple days but it was still so itchy. Here I am, 4 days later, can't pee, can't wipe, can't do anything without excruciating pain. I think I too have chemical burns from this product. Had a mental breakdown for the past couple days thinking my bf gave me genital herpes. told me about some of the terrible reviews of monistat and then I found this and the way the other women are explaining the pain, is EXACTLY how I feel. Hoping the pain subsides soon, I can't take this! | F | 24 | 1 days 1 1X day | 7/12/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Horrible chemical burns. Can't wipe, can't pee, hurts to shower, walk, lay down. Not worth it - try to get the oral anti fungal Rx (DiFlucan is my personal favorite). | I did the 1 day...still had symptoms. Bought the Monistat 3 with external itch cream because I still had symptoms and was so itchy and couldn't get an appt with the gynecologist for a few days. Woke up the next morning with horrible itching pain and found giant sores, clusters of bubbly skin. Went to the gynecologist and saw a NP - she is convinced it's herpes but wouldn't listen to anything I said about Monistat being the culprit. Can't wait for the herpes to turn up negative - I know this is a burn from the Monistat. | F | 25 | 1 days 200 mg 1X day | 7/14/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Inserted first dose of Monistat 3 day and immediately felt terrible burning and itching!!! I'm on fire!!! I thought it would slowly subside but instead it just continued to get worse. I am now so swollen. I've taking 2 Motrin and tried to was off as much as possible, but I am still burning on fire a so so itchy. 2:30 am and I can't sleep I inserted Monistat at 11:30 pm. I really don't know what to do to stop this terrible pain and throbbing. | I would never buy this again. I have used the generic and this had never happened before!! | F | 43 | 1 days 1X day | 9/28/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I used the generic version and never had issues. It actually relieved my irritation and itching. I was out of town and needed more so I decided to stop at Walgreens. Got the monistat 3 day as soon as I inserted the cream my lady bits were on fire. I felt like I had a million matches inside me. I immediately sat down and peed whatever I could get out of me grabbed a wash rag when cool water and started wiping the rest of what I could. This was an hr ago,I feel swollen and it still burns a bit, not as bad as when it was first inserted. Not sure if it was an allergic reaction but I never had a bad experience with the generic suppositories at all. I will never buy this product again. I feel like there should be a warning about the serious allergic reaction some women can get and what can be done about it. Very dissatisfied and feel horrible for those who got chemical burns and sores. This product needs to be removed! | F | 31 | 1 days 1X day | 6/3/2021 | 1 | Yeast infection | This Is the worst, I used it one night and got a chemical burn. I have a whole bunch of little blisters, It hurts to walk, sit, getting in my car and driving is the worst thing. | F | 20 | 1 days 1X day | 12/25/2021 | 1 | Yeast infection | Burning, itching, pain, torture! Sore vulva, white patches and open scattered sores like a chemical burn. DO NOT USE. I can barely walk, hurts to sit, I cry every time I urinate. | F | 32 | 1 days 1X day | 8/29/2022 | 1 | Extreme burning after one dose | F | 22 | 1 days 1X day | 12/14/2022 | 1 | Yeast infection | Intense burning, itching in vagina and where it dripped into anal area, experiences itchy sore on fire white and red blisters that would not stop hurting or itching until I applied coconut oil to the area 4-6 times a day for 5 DAFS straight. My butt cheeks, anal area, vaginal lips and inside of vagina hurt so bad I could not walk, exercise or sit for 3 days. Finally some relief on 4th day but area still very sore & sensitive. Do not recommend! The yeast infection might be gone but the pain & blisters are not worth it. | Terrible reaction to the ointment | F | 39 | 1 days 10 mg 1X day | 2/24/2023 | 1 | Yeast | Extreme burn and swelling. CHEMICAL BURNS! | F | 25 | 1 days 1 dose 1X day | 1/22/2015 | 1 | Yeast infection | Horrible vulvar swelling. Burning and itching unbearable sensitivity | I bought this to clear up a moderate yeast infection. After the first day of use I had vaginal sensitivity and increased itching and some swelling. I thought that the yeast infection was just worse than had originally thought. After 2nd dose I couldn't even wipe after urination without screaming. It itches so bad I want to rip my vagina off my body but it is so sensitive I can't touch it. Going to ice it, take a benedryl and hope for the best | F | 27 | 2 days | 10/10/2015 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Burn from Hell. I haven taken Monistay before and has a small reaction (burning at night, so I did not think anything when the same symptoms for a yeast infection appeared. I noticed a burning sensation and uncontrollable itch all night the 1st dose of the 3 day series. Into the next day my vulva and outside labia was swollen and itched so bad, it started to burn during the day. I thought my yeast infection was so bad, never in my wildest dreams did I think it was Monistat. I even attempted the 2nd dose and the burning was so intense. This gives a new meaning to Fire Crotch! Avoid this product. I suggest also making sure symptoms are indeed YI and not BV (bacterial vaginitis),which has similar symptoms. Go to your doc and test for both before anyanibiotcs and take the YI pills not this crap. FdA should put a better warning. | F | 47 | 2 days | 5/29/2016 |
