Had a yeast infection week and a half ago, treated with diflucan (fluconazole) and clotrimazole cream. can too much cream cause swelling and red of the vagina lips?

Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Possibly: Excessive application can cause some irritation, or this could represent an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the medication. Follow up with your provider to determine if you are sensitive/allergic.
