Is Canesten Effective For Itching And Discomfort In Labia During Pregnancy?
I am 30 weeks pregnant and have this annoying itch and unconfort on my genital labia... Itchiness has subsided a bit after sudocrem but its still very sore. I can also feel some lumps but not sure if are the same as blisters from herpes as i cant see it properly. However i think it started due to excess moist from discharge and sweat.. Can i try canesten?

Hello,
Canesten is a topical antifungal which will work only for a fungal infection and not for herpes. So my advice would be that you see a dermatologist and get a diagnosis as to whether it is herpes or a candida infection.
Take care
