I'm dealing with some pretty intense itching on my inner thighs and it's just so frustrating. It seems like it might be jock itch or something similar. Do you have any suggestions on how I can treat this? I'm really tired of dealing with it and could use some help.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and currently taking fluconazole and griseofulvin. I'm thinking about applying Candiderma cream inside my vagina. Is that safe or advisable to do while I'm already on these medications?

You can continue taking fluconazole and griseofulvin systemically for your fungal infection. For vaginal fungal infections, you can use antifungal creams specifically designed for vaginal use, such as Clotrimazole cream or Miconazole cream. Apply a small amount of the cream inside the vagina as directed by the instructions on the packaging.
