A member asked:

Im using vanos cream for yeast infection --okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It is steroid cream which will make yeast infection spread worse after a few days. Where is yeast? Try micatiin or lotrimin (clotrimazole) cream instead. Otherwise see physician for prescription cream or pills.
