Monistat 3 -- reaction to topical cream?

[fleurdesang]

I recently treated a yeast infection (I've had them before; I used to get them once or twice a year) with Monistat 3.

The internal cream seems to have worked fine; I have no more itchy/irritated symptoms in the vaginal area and feel pretty good overall.

However, I think I had a reaction to the external cream (the 2% miconazole)... In the groin area where thighs and buttocks meet, I've been feeling irritated; almost like a prickly-heat sensation/minor sunburn. (I had some irritation on my labia for a few days, but that seems to have gone.) I notice it mostly when I'm sitting upright, flat on my bum. Thing is..there's no redness, swelling, etc. And the area doesn't hurt when I touch it. It's only when sitting.

I stopped using the external cream on Monday; it's Thursday now, and I think it's improved since then--I don't seem to be squirming as much--though I'm still feeling the irritation off and on, depending on how I sit.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had a similar reaction to the topical cream.

And I don't think I'll be using Monistat or 3 day treatments any longer...

Anyone else?
