Is online care right for me?
Online requests work well for straightforward cases and for people familiar with these symptoms. Recurring infections or uncertain symptoms may need in-person evaluation, which your provider will advise.

Yeast infection treatment for patients in New Mexico
If the itching and discharge feel like a yeast infection you have had before, you do not need a waiting room to treat it. Patients in New Mexico describe their symptoms in a secure request, and a clinician licensed in New Mexico decides whether an antifungal is appropriate.
Every clinician who reviews a New Mexico request holds an active license issued by the New Mexico Medical Board or the New Mexico Board of Nursing, and your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in New Mexico.
If a prescription is appropriate, it is sent electronically to the New Mexico pharmacy you choose, whether that is a chain, a supermarket pharmacy or an independent near you. Medication is billed by the pharmacy, not by Plunge Care.
