I have got itching on my outside area of the vagina. Can I use clotrimazole cream on that area to remove infection. Please suggest?

Dear Lybrate user, recurrent itching is indicative of candidiasis. Although clotrimazole will give you relief from external itching, but it will not cure candidiasis. Its better to visit gynaecologist and also rule out trichomoniasis and get oral tablets according to the diagnosis.

Hi lybrate-user yes you can use it. Let me know if your married or unmarried so the treatment varies. Main thing to prevent infection is to maintain hygiene.- use washed and cotton panties, cotton pads during your periods. -avoid using wheat creams or razors for panic hair removal as few ppl are sensitive to them and cause irritation and itching will start. So see which one suits you and then use it. If your using any of them please stop. - avoid going to public washrooms or else clean the toilet seat with a tissue or sanitizer before using. Infections are commonly spread from there. If any further queries please have a follow up with me through online consultation.
