Itching, burning and discomfort at the site of application of the cream is one of the side effects of the drug Clotrimazolum. In case of such symptoms, I recommend giving up its use, because it can exacerbate the infection causing additional irritation. In return, you can use a preparation for intimate infections with another active substance that may be better tolerated by your body, e.g. fenticonazole. Without a prescription, you can buy a globule for a one-day treatment or a cream with this ingredient: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/34102/gynoxin-uno-kapsulki-dopochwowe/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/34103/gynoxin-2-krem-dopochwowy-krem-dopochwowy/apteki On the pages attached above, you can compare the prices of these preparations in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy. I also encourage you to report the side effects of Clotrimazolum. Reporting side effects allows you to gather more information about the safety of medicines and update data about them, which can help other patients in the future. We wrote about how to report them here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane I also attach other helpful materials: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/infekcje-intymne-jak-sobie-poradzic https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/probiotyki-ginekologiczne

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics of the holiday, burning and discomfort of the mucous membrane is one of the side effects of the drug Clotrimazolum: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/18711/clotrimazolum-gsk-krem/ulotka/11889 I propose to abandon its use, because it will only exacerbate the disease state causing additional irritation. If it was a doctor's order, it is best to talk about it with the attending physician familiar with your state of health in detail. I also encourage you to report the occurrence of side effects of the preparation. Reporting side effects increases control over commercially available medicines. We wrote about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
