To apply athletes foot cream to labia?

[420Bruh]

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?

Even then it's a very poor substitute for the actual correct medication for the condition which OP has in her possession, albeit in a slightly weaker formulation. Can't believe people are suggesting it as a better alternative 😆. Love OP's salad dressing comment. People are batshit - just use the meds!

OP you probably will be able to get it prescribed. Give your gp a call and see. Alternatively groupon/Wowcher sometimes have the tabs or tablet and cream combo for just a couple of £ each. A fraction of what you'd pay in a pharmacist. I tend to buy in packs of 3 to keep some in stock (a tip for future) and it's about a tenner for the 3 tabs and 3 creams if I remember correctly

@Bunnyfuller Posts like this really do irk me. You do realise that there's female scientists, female researchers and female product developers out there too? Its not just men who have jobs in big multinational companies. 🙄

@FarmGirl78 also makes no sense because there are perfectly good medications for thrush, ones far better than bloody yogurt. OP just doesn't have them to hand although what she does have is also fine.

Oh my god please do not do this.

I'm here for the whiskey bottle story.....

Athletes Foot Powder is known as Athletes Foof Powder in this house. Just saying.

As far as I know Athletes foot cream is 1% so it's not as strong as foot cream. Ive done it before, I used to suffer terriblly with thrush.

Oh my god please do not do this

This! I'm aghast what people are shoving up there. Just use the correct medication ffs 🙈

Fluconazole tablet costs £1.50 if you don't want to get it on prescription.

Reiterating my offer, OP.

Where? They are a tenner in boots

Op. Jokes aside. No tea tree oil should ever hon in, on or near your foof. Can one of us please send you some £ to buy some proper meds.

(Please tell me about the whiskey bottle)

I buy mine in bulk online because I take it weekly for a case of recurrent thrush but even I pay more than that- plus shipping!

When you get paid next, see if you can stretch to a small bottle of tea tree oil (it's not terribly pricey), and lavender oil too, if pennies permit.
A few drops (2-3) in a sink of water or small bucket can be very soothing. Both are anti bacterial and diluted like this won't harm the skin.
Also perhaps a pot of natural yogurt for thre freezer.
Hope that you're feeling a bit better today.

I always use it for thrush but always dilutes. Don't put it on neat, that'd launch you sky high.

Thanks hercules that's very kind of you. I am waiting for a call back from 111 (about the mastitis not the thrush!) and will hopefully be going to a pharmacy-I'm going to see if the pharmacist can prescribe and therefor it be free like someone mentioned above. If not I might have to take you up, thank you.

I might have some somewhere from lousier days. I'll have a look. Diluted in the bath sounds much more doable than on a tampon 😬

Yes this! Where?! Or is this one of those "you can feed a family for 10 quid a week if you know how to cook (and haven't had occasion to look at the price of anything since 1974)"

They are cheap - but finding a pharmacist who is prepared to sell you the generic when they've got 50 packets of the hugely expensive branded version to flog is damn near impossible at times.

As I posted earlier Wowcher usually (and are currently) running a deal where you can buy 3 tablets AND 3 tubes if cream for £6.99. You can get cheaper options too. A few online pharmacies have similar prices.

I have success! Just in case anyone is invested in my flaps 😂 the pharmacist was able to prescribe so thank you so much to whoever suggested that!

p.s fu to all those on a different site who entertain themselves by questioning the credibility of others. Maybe consider how classist it is to label everyone mentioning being skint as being a begger. I posted for help/solidarity/amusement not because all poor people are out to scam you. Or should I hide that aspect of my life on mumsnet?

I have a distinct recollection of someone posting that they - or possibly their friend - had used a frozen sausage.

You can buy generic Clotrimazole cream and pessaries which are much cheaper than Canestan if that's any help
I wouldn't put Footcream anywhere near vulva
Although it contains the same ingredients skin is very different to Mucous membranes of the vulva

I see you've now seen the pharmacist... What a relief for you!
