You can use the cream. If there is any redness or itching then it can be due to an allergic reaction for which i suggest you to stop using it and get it checked from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps. Take care.

I bought clotrimazole cream. Should I start using it?

Hello,
It can be due to fungal infection of the groin. Treatment consists of topical antifungal cream which may contain miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole. Restrict wearing any undergarments at night and as far as possible keep the area dry.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
