I'm not sure. However, my Ob/GYN did prescribe it to me for that very use. Seems to help. Not sure what it's helping since my doc didn't think that was worth sharing with me even though I have a BS in biochemistry. I'd say if it was prescribed to you, then take it.

Hi Anon,
I'm wondering what you were wanting to use this cream for (as it sounds like it is not appropriate to use on your vagina). What symptoms are you experiencing, as we can help you find a better alternative treatment.
Hope to hear from you soon!

From what I've been reading, no. I believe it's for treating skin conditions like psoriasis.
