To apply athletes foot cream to labia?

Sorry for terrible overshare but what else is the internet for.

I am absolutely driven mad by thrush. I have no yoghurt in the house bar Frubes (although I suppose easy internal application? But I would worry about the sugar). I have no money until payday, 8 squirmy scratchy fanny abrading days away.

What I do have is two kinds of athletes foot cream? Surely one fungicide is much like another?

God no .
can’t our borrow money from a friend

Discovereads · 17/06/2022 21:28

I would not. The Athletes foot cream is formulated to use on skin. Thrush cream is formulated to use on the mucous membrane of your vulva. Skin is much tougher than mucous membranes.

Oh goodnes no no no! Don't put that near your bits you'll burn them surely?

Try ordering from Amazon ,prime is next day delivery,it might work and put your account in overdraft .could the bank give you a temporary overdraft,I’m sure if you explained……

WishILivedInThrushGreen · 17/06/2022 21:30

No!

It may be the same type of cream eg Canestan but it will have a very different percentage of active ingredients.

Please don't do it.

Stichintime · 17/06/2022 21:30

Ouch, I wouldn't.

EBearhug · 17/06/2022 21:30

Even Canestan can sting if it's a bad outbreak. Foot stuff... no.

MarryMeTomHardy · 17/06/2022 21:32

Have you got any organic coconut oil? That can be applied to the area...
Please don't use the foot cream...

I'll get the bank manager on the line, right away 😂

No seriously I'm brassic though. I was trying to stay strong but I don't think I can do it!

Look up the percentages of active ingredients, and the ingredients. If they are the same go for it.

JofraArchersFastestBall · 17/06/2022 21:33

Coconut oil is nicely soothing, if you've got any

I think I have coconut oil but I doubt its organic. What would it do?

Do you have any bicarb in the kitchen? Google 'bicarbonate of soda for vaginal thrush'.

Memaww · 17/06/2022 21:33

I always use canesten 1% with a foot on instead of 2% because it's cheaper 😲

It's always worked fine

WeegieGranny2022 · 17/06/2022 21:34

Sudocrem can be somewhat soothing.

yousexybugger · 17/06/2022 21:34

Have you got paypal credit? If not see if you can get it. You might be able to order some Canasten online using that and pay for the quickest delivery.

420Bruh · 17/06/2022 21:35

OK so these are the ingredients on the cream I have. I think it's identical but maybe weaker than the fanny one.

I would get into debt for this if you haven't maxed out your card/overdraft. Could you ask someone on Facebook? Or a friend/relative?

Dangermouse80 · 17/06/2022 21:35

It will be fine. It is normally 1 or 2 % active ingredients

Do people get thrush on their feet?

SheWoreYellow · 17/06/2022 21:36

Canesten is Canesten, just varies in strength. I’d use it.

cushioncovers · 17/06/2022 21:36

I use the canesten foot one when I don't have the thrush one. It works fine.

Myotherusernamewastakenagain · 17/06/2022 21:36

Maybe if you have athlete's fanny.

Supermarket cheap as chips live plain yogurt?

hideous, op. Obviously something no male has experienced thus the expensive and ineffective cures.
