A member asked:

Can i use gold bond anti-itch cream to soothe the external itching associated with a yeast infection?

Yeast Infection: Yes. But the cream only affects the symptoms, not the cause. You need an antifungal treatment to eradicate the underlying cause of the infection; you might want to consult your Gyn Practitioner for definitive treatment and follow up.

Gold Bond: Clotrimazole would be better than Gold Bond, or even prescription Nystatin ointment or cream to treat candida (yeast).

Yes: But you will want to treat the yeast overgrowth. Oral fluconazole, usually just 1 pill, is very easy and effective. You can get azole creams OTC such as miconazole or clotrimazole or ketoconazole. These genetics are equivalent to, but cheaper than, the brands. Castellans's solution can be very effective for external symptoms.
