A member asked:

Experiencing itching and occasional redness on genital area. only sexual activity is with same partner. unprotected. would triamcinolone acetonide cream help treat this? other alternative recommendations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genital itching,redn: Associated redness raises suspicion of a yeast infection which can be passed back and forth between sexual partners. Sometimes the cause is recurrent friction and moisture. Triamcinolone, a corticosteroid, can make a yeast infection worse unless an antiyeast ointment is used also. Ask your pharmacist to recommend the combination. Wear loose white cotton underwear. Does your partner have symptoms?
