Use it on feet: Suggest you try or use an over the counter anti-fungal cream such as lotrimin (clotrimazole), (clotrimazole) Monistat or mionazole if neede for vaginal yeast problem.. Foot cream may well contain a vaginal irritant ; no antifungal, although there are some foot antifungals for athletes\'s foot such as lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra which is formulated only for use on external skin ; not for vaginal yeast infections.

It depends: It depends on the type of cream. A regular cream may actually make it worse. If the cream is intended to treat a yeast infection then it would most likely work on most external surfaces. Use the right cream for the right purpose.
