A member asked:

Almost 20 weeks pregnant,having itching in vaginal area,is it ok to use zinc oxide diaper rash cream on,will it cause miscarriage if some gets inside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Diagnosis: Diaper rash cream would not cause a miscarriage but it is not likely to help much in an adult. A better choice is to have your Obgyn evaluate the area and see if infection is present. External prescription itch creams are available
