Can I apply Candid B cream on to my genitals since I have been experiencing itchiness and discomfort? (Please note I also have also been diagnosed with chickenpox)

Have a query?

Candid B cream, which contains an antifungal agent, is generally used for fungal infections and is not typically recommended for viral infections like chickenpox, especially on sensitive genital skin, as it may cause irritation or worsen symptoms.
Common symptoms include itchy red spots or blisters that may appear on the body, fever, tiredness, and general discomfort. The rash usually progresses from red bumps to fluid-filled blisters and then crusts over.
Seek prompt medical advice if blisters become very painful, if there is high or persistent fever, widespread rash beyond typical areas, signs of bacterial infection (increased redness, swelling, pus), or if you experience difficulty urinating or severe pain.
Applying Candid B cream on genital skin with chickenpox is not recommended without a doctor’s approval. Please consult a dermatologist or infectious disease specialist to get appropriate treatment for your symptoms and to safely manage genital itchiness during chickenpox.
