I know this can feel a little awkward to ask, but it's an important one to get right. This soap is an antifungal wash generally meant for external skin use, and it isn't formulated or intended as a treatment for a vaginal infection, which often needs a specific internal or topical medication depending on the actual cause. Vaginal infections can be fungal, bacterial or otherwise, so it's really best to see a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and the right treatment.
