Is Desoximetasone An Effective Medication For Vaginal Yeast Infection?
Question: My daughter has a yeast infection that wakes her up at night. Can I use desoximetasone on the outer area of her vagina
Brief Answer:
Proper examination should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Fungal infection around genitalia in young females can be due to inappropriate hygiene or due to deranged sugars.
I will suggest you to consult a pediatrician and get her properly examined and investigated.
Further treatment should be done accordingly.
Self medication can be harmful.
