A member asked:
Is cvs antibiotic and pain relief cream on genital area ok for itching?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Since the cause of the itching is not known, the above cream may relieve the symptom without treating the cause. You should see your physician to determine a definitive treatment, such as an anti-funga medication if the itching is due to a yeast infection.

Depends: Depends on why you itch. If you have a fungal or other type infection, then no, possibly not good enough. Try it but if it doesn't help soon, time to seek professional advise.
