Suggest Anti-fungal Itch Relief Cream For Vaginal Itching

Best anti-fungal itch relief for external vaginal itch. I don t need the kit w/the applicators, I have plenty of them. I just want the cream. I ve seen kits with 1-day to 7-day. I just want the cream for sporadic use. Is it the same as advertised for jock itch?

Hello,
This is Dr. Papaqako answering your question.

There are several creams you can use for a vaginal fungal infection.
Some most commonly used are clotrimazole 2%, ketoconazole , miconazole, fluconazole 1%.
All of these need to be applied topically 1-2/day, dor 5-7 days.

You can also use just 1 tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg (single does) which will cure the fungal vaginal infection.

These creams are the same used in the jock fungal infection, but the percentage of the medication in the cream and the time/frequency used will be different in that case.

Hope this helps,
Take care.
