A member asked:

I have what looks and feels like a ringworm close to my vagina. is it safe to use an antifungal cream by my vagina since it is a sensitive area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem : Unless you have some sort of allergy to the components of the cream (rare) there should be no problem using it.
