What stops itching fast in private area for females? ›

#1 trusted by more women

From intense yeast infection itching to uncomfortable irritating from routine things like pads & shaving, Vagisil^® has clinically tested products designed to work beautifully for you.

Answer: Some commonly used antifungal creams for treating fungal infections in the private area include Clotrimazole, Miconazole, and Terbinafine. These creams are readily available over-the-counter at pharmacies and are effective in treating various types of fungal infections.

Which is the best vagin*l itch cream?: Vagisil vs. Monistat. If you have local itching that is not associated with a yeast infection, Vagisil may be sufficient to relieve symptoms. However, if your symptoms are due to a yeast infection, you need treatment with an antifungal, such as Monistat, to cure the infection.

There are several common causes of vagin*l itching, burning, and irritation, including infections, irritants, menopause, skin disorders, shaving and or waxing, as well as sexually transmitted diseases.

If you have very bad dryness and irritation, a hydrating moisturizer may be better for you. Never use petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline^®) as a moisturizer. It can irritate your vagin* and vulva. It can also raise your risk of getting a vagin*l infection.

For those whose dryness and itching comes from an external source or lifestyle factors, your doctor may recommend you stop douching or, if possible, change medications. Dabbing a little bit of vaseline petroleum jelly, coconut oil or even Crisco vegetable shortening on the dry skin area can also help heal itching.

Can I put Neosporin on my private area? ›

No. Only use Neosporin on the outside of your body. Never use it in your mouth or nose, or other areas like eyes or genitals. These areas are more sensitive and prone to side effects.

The fastest — and most reliable — way to get rid of a yeast infection is to visit a doctor if you suspect you have one. They will likely prescribe fluconazole, an oral treatment that may take 1 week to get rid of the infection.

Go-to antibiotics for vagin*l infections include metronidazole and clindamycin. If one treatment doesn't do the trick, there are other options you can try. (Note: Stay away from alcohol while taking metronidazole, as the combination of the two can cause severe nausea and vomiting.)

Vagisil is a medicated cream, and its active ingredient is 2 percent lidocaine. Vagisil is mainly used for providing relief from the uneasiness due to minor itching and irritation of the skin just outside of the vagin*. It can also be applied around the anus.

Eating yogurt or probiotics

As such, yogurt can help prevent infection and reduce symptoms of vagin*l itching.

Clotrimazole reduces vagin*l burning, itching, and discharge that may occur with this condition. This medication is an azole antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of yeast (fungus) that causes the infection. The vagin*l product comes in 2 forms (a vagin*l cream or tablet).
