Not for Candida, but people do use tampons covered in yogurt to treat yeast infections. As to if they work or not, it depends on how bad the infection is and what you have in your body.
More specifically, if you don’t have enough of the beneficial bacteria (Probiotics) to help keep yeast and growths at bay, it may take longer for the yogurt to work when applied directly to the site and it’s more possible for it to come back afterward. If you are having recurring yeast issues, I would recommend taking a good Probiotic supplement with 30+ billion viable organisms from several strains. In addition to Probiotics, Caprylic Acid and Grapefruit Seed Extract also help to fight the Candida directly, so those three together are a very good combination to fight Candida.
Also, you may want to watch your diet to help clear Candida up sooner. I would avoid sugary foods (since sugar feeds Candida) and if you want to cover all your bases, even natural sugars would be best to avoid (eg. fruits, fructose, ribose, etc) because yeast can feed on most any sugars. Also, minimize the refined carbs you eat for the same reason… carbs convert into sugar in your system, which feeds yeast. It seems too obvious to say avoid products with yeast (breads and whatnot), but still.
Those options will help a LOT to starve them while you attack with the supplements. Eating lots of fiber (veggies, especially) will help with elimination, which can help remove some of the yeast as well. There are a lot of angles that fighting Candida comes from, not just one or two.
Most of the cases I’ve heard of that used regimens like this showed an impact within just a few days (where they noticed some benefits) and were often almost completely gone within a month or so, but some more extreme cases took longer. Good luck and I hope I helped!
