How To Clean Medication Creams For Vaginal Yeast Infection As It Really Hurts To Wipe?
I recently got a really bad yeast infection. It hurts to wipe. All the medication (cream) that I put on it is still between my vagina. I ve tried soaking yo let the cream come off but nothing works. What can I use to wipe creme from between my legs so I can add fresh cream?

Hello,
You can use some olive oil applied on sterile cotton to mop the area; do not use sponge as it hurts. Alternatively, you can try using mild soap solution to wash the parts. Tissue paper can also be used to wipe off the area clean. Though paraffin oil is helpful, it may hurt as you have severe infection. Do not use hot water; use luke warm water instead. Wet cotton with luke warm water and mop the area to clean the cream. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
