Should I take Canesten if I only have 1 symptom of a vaginal yeast infection?

Hello,

Using Canesten (clotrimazole) just because of vulvar redness is unlikely to improve the situation. Since this medication is appropriate for Candida fungal infections (yeast infections), the symptoms of women who use it are more like a whitish discharge, itching and redness. If the redness is not accompanied by severe pain or other symptoms, I would recommend doing nothing. Vulvar and vaginal mucosa heal themselves very quickly!

It's a pleasure!
