A member asked:

Is it ok to use diaper rash cream for a vaginal yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection tx: A diaper cream will not treat a vaginal yeast infection. The infection is not only on the surface but also deeper within the vagina. Diaper creams should not be applied inside the vagina. Diaper creams also do not contain ingredients necessary to treat yeast.
