my virgina is itching around vulva, i went to the pharmacy and they gave me canex v cream cant i just apply it only around vulva since it is not itching on the inside? ## No, using it that way will not effectively eradicate a yeast infection, if that's what is causing the itching. To do that, it needs to be inserted inside your vagina, just as instructed. Have you consulted your doctor to confirm whether or not you have a yeast infection?

Can a man use canex crean on his private part when he have some balls their? ## Hello, Don! How are you? I can't find anything that specifically lists what the ingredient is in Canex, there are various things claiming what it is, but nothing verified. However, it is listed as being an antifungal agent that can be used to treat yeast infections and other fungal skin infections, which means that it can be used by men or women, it is not gender specific. However, it will only treat fungal infections, according to the information I found, so you should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, before using it. If your problem is caused by something else, such as a virus or bacterial infection, then this cream isn't going to help. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi I woul...

I have a yeast infection and want to know if I HAVE to insert the cream into my vagina? Can I not just apply it around vulva? ## No, it's not going to work if you do that, you won't absorb enough of it to treat the yeast infection. There is no need to be afraid of inserting it, it's not going to hurt anything, it's very quick and easy to do and once you feel better, you'll wonder why you were worried about it. What scares you about it? I'm female and I've had to do it, plus I've also had a child, so post back with your concerns, I'll be happy to help! :-)

Hie i started using Canex V 3 days ago along with metro and cifloc 500.i.m alredy near my period days can i start early becoz from wat i.m seeing its no longer spotting bt period ## Hello, Tatenda! How are you? Yes, it is possible for your cycle to become irregular, anytime you've been ill or had to take a medication. However, it would be best to have it checked out to be sure. The FDA lists spotting as one of the typical side effects of Canex V, so it could also just be due to that, even though it seems heavier, because it can irritate the cervix. Other side effects may include irritation and vaginal discharge. Is there anything else I can help with?
