Question 1

my vagina itches and is kind of sore. is it safe to use extra strength gold bond body powder on my vagina? i have not talked to a doctor yet, and hoping to avoid it. i've only used gold bond once on my vagina.

Accepted Answer

: Duplicate question, see previous reply. Likely yeast infection. Gold Bond will provide no more than temporary relief.

Question 2

does it work to use baby powder instead of gold bond on itchy balls?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Sure, try it.  If it feels better, awesome.

Question 3

is gold bond safe to us in the vaginal area?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I'm assuming your talking about a lotion or powder or cream?  You can definitely use lotion or cream.  It's best to avoid talc in the vaginal area (cornstarch=okay).  Ask question again if you have a specific product in mind.

Question 4

using gold bond powder near vagina?

Accepted Answer

OK: Gold bond powder is safe to use in the groins but if the condition you are treating does not improve then you should see your doctor.

Question 5

can you put gold bond body powder on your vagina?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but....: here are some things to consider. Gold Bond body products are typically formulated for men to assist with moisture/scrotal skin irritation. It contains talc and zinc oxide, among other things. While the evidence is weak that talc-containing body powders are harmful, talc has been suspected in the causation of some (ovarian) cancers. The powder may be slightly irritating to sensitive vulvar tissues

Question 6

is it safe to put gold bond lotion on your penis everyday for chronic dry skin? will there be any long term problems i should know about?

Accepted Answer

Which kind?: As long as it does not irritate your penis, it should be ok.  The anti-itch formula may irritate the tip of the penis however if applied accidentally. But why?

Question 7

i have a vaginal itch and i have bought gold bond with 4% lidocaine i was wondering if this is safe to use around the area? also its up my vagina?

Accepted Answer

: The main cause of vaginal itching is yeast infection (candida). Lidocaine will help itching briefly after each treatment, but Gold Bond otherwise does not treat yeast. Try an over-the-counter yeast treatment -- many choices available, active ingredients ending in "azole" (miconazole, clotrimazole, and others). All are equally effective; choose the cheapest. See doctor if that doesn't clear it up.

Question 8

ive been experiencing itchy heels only at night when i go to bed. it happens within half an hour of getting into bed. the only thing that takes it away is to douse the area in gold bond extra strength foot powder. the itchiness doesnt happen at any other

Accepted Answer

When things get: quiet at night we are less distracted.  Thus we can focus on physical and emotional symptoms that we don't focus on during the busy day.  Please see your doc to rule out fungal infection on feet.  Peace and good health.  Avoid alcohol-containing lotions.

Question 9

what is the most effective otc medication for jock itch? tinactin, (tolnaftate) lamasil, lotramin ultra? can i put gold bond powder on right after the cream?

Accepted Answer

Several options: There are 5 otc preps for this fungal infection. Cruex contains miconazole, a frequently used antifungal. It takes 4-6 weeks and should be used for 1 week past rash disappearance. If resistant, listerine has been found to be effective by some. Good luck. If otc doesn't work, prescription antifungal meds are not that expensive.

Question 10

i use gold bond corn starch based powder all over body for sweating. i tend to inhale a lot when applying it. is this harmful?

Accepted Answer

Not unless allergy: not unless you are allergic to it

i am not sure the long term effect of inhaling any material is safe 
you need to be more selective when using tha powder and keep it away from your lungs
you are too young to keep exposing yourself and your lungs to anything 
good luck
