A member asked:
Is it fine to use 1 per cent hydrocortisone cream at my labia minora?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Since the otc cream is not formulated for the mucous membrane in the vagina, it may cause mild irritation for some people. However you can test a small area first to find out if it is irritating for you. Otherwise i see little harm if you use it for no more than a week.
