Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. The itching and discharge are due to fungal infection with dryness.

2. Baby's organ development gets completed by 10 weeks. You can apply thus cream after 10 weeks.

3. Till then you can apply some oil to the area itching due to dryness.

4. You can apply this cream after one week.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
