FAQ

Why does Monistat burn/itch so bad?

Monistat is an antibacterial ointment that fights and kills bacteria when applied topically to areas affected with skin infections, especially vaginal yeast infections. The cream can cause some discomfort, itching, or burning because your vagina and vulva are covered by a sensitive membrane that can absorb various chemicals. Consult your doctor if you experience severe burning, itching, or swelling.

Should you wash Monistat out in the morning?

You can shower and wash yourself in the mornings after application if you would like, but this is not required. You should apply Monistat cream in the evenings before bed so you can lie down soon after to reduce leakage. You can wear pads or panty liners during the day to protect your clothing whether you wash out the cream or not.
