It's only Thrush (probably Candida Albicans), OK so it's an STD, but it is not exclusively an STD.
It's very common & treated easily. Your boyfriend will have to be treated as well or else you'll just pass it back from one to the other.
If you've had it before & had a prescription for it before, all you have to do is ring up your doctor's surgery & ask for a repeat prescription. (Much cheaper than buying Canesten Once from the chemists).
If you haven't had it before then you MUST go to your GP. It's nothing to be ashamed about and you don't have to have had sex to get it. I get it every time I have a course of anti-biotics because the antibiotics kill off normal bacteria that keep it away.
Sorry, I don't know how much it costs, you could just ring up Boots & ask.
I've found a few websites with info on Thrush, & one of them is right here!

Personally I have found that Gyno-daktarin works best for me <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

but ne way i went to boots and i dint have enough for the cream so i had 2 get the pessary.
it should be all cleared up by friday!
thanx 4 all ur help!
ps it was £6.15!
Burn baby burn!
Canesten cream is only about 2 quid..but i found that bathing in salted water helped and i have been told if you put natural yoghurt on a tampon and insert that..this will help.i have not tried this method though...good luck and DO NOT SCRATCH as this will make it worse..

the penis tip is all red and has little cuts on it, and sometimes gets a white dishcharge,and i have got a kind of white discharge but its not as bad as last time, i really cant afford ne canestan and i dont wanna go 2 the docs (kind of a fear)
the live bacteria in the live yoghurt gets rid of thrush, i'm not sure how long u r meant to leave it up there tho. the bacteria in the yoghurt actually stops the yeast from growing and seeing as thrush is a yeast infection i can't see how it could hurt
