A member asked:

Can i use any baby diaper cream for the irritating itch and discomfort from my own vaginal yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: Depending on the ingredients in the diaper cream, it may help the area feel better, but may not clear the yeast infection, unless it contains an anti-fungal component. If it keeps the area too moist, it could actually make a yeast infection worse.
