Probably: clotrimazole is an anti fungal, so it will cure the yeast but can leave the area still red and irritated. You can use a low dose hydrocortisone such as vagisil or hydrocortisone 0.5% to help the inflammation go away.

Redness: although the cream you are using is good to treat a fungal infection it sounds like either you still have residual infection or you have a different infection going on. I would try the cream in the area that is red for a few days but if not better I would see your doctor to determine if some other condition is there. Good luck!
