Indications
Vagisil is an over-the-counter cream produced by Combe Incorporated, primarily used to treat external vaginal itching and irritation. The product contains hydrocortisone acetate, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching.
In addition, Combe offers a range of feminine hygiene products designed to cleanse, protect, and maintain the health of the intimate area.
Use and Dosage
The product comes in different formulations with each formulation having its appropriate dosages. Check the label instructions or follow the advice given by a health care provider regarding the proper use and dosage of Vagisil.
As with any medication or personal care product, inform a healthcare professional if one experiences adverse reactions or has concerns about the product.
Side Effects
Serious side effects
Along with its needed effects, hydrocortisone topical (the active ingredient contained in Vagisil Anti-Itch Creme Sensitive Skin Formula) may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all these side effects may occur, if they do occur, they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking hydrocortisone topical:
- Blistering, burning, crusting, dryness, or flaking of the skin
- Irritation
- Itching, scaling, severe redness, soreness, or swelling of the skin
- Redness and scaling around the mouth
- Thinning of the skin with easy bruising, especially when used on the face or where the skin folds together (e.g., between the fingers)
- Thinning, weakness, or wasting away of the skin
Other side effects
Some side effects of hydrocortisone topical may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your healthcare professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.
Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
- Acne or pimples
- Burning and itching of the skin with pinhead-sized red blisters

Cautions
Firstly, patients should avoid contact with the eyes and only apply the product as directed, avoiding excessive use.
In addition, patients should refrain from using Vagisil on broken or infected skin and speak to their healthcare provider before using the product if pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as it may be contraindicated.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids like hydrocortisone increases the risk of skin thinning and the likelihood of skin infections, which cautions against extended use of Vagisil.
Patients with liver or kidney problems are also advised to consult a healthcare provider before using the product.
Always encourage patients to read the label instructions and contact healthcare providers should they experience any adverse effects or concerns.
