I have developed facial rash, can Canex v help get rid of them? ## Hello, Ray! How are you? The best thing to do would be to see your doctor to discover what has caused the rash and find out what the appropriate treatment would be. If Canex V is used inappropriately, it could actually make it worse. The FDA lists its typical side effects as including skin redness, dryness and irritation.

Hie i started using Canex V 3 days ago along with metro and cifloc 500.i.m alredy near my period days can i start early becoz from wat i.m seeing its no longer spotting bt period ## Hello, Tatenda! How are you? Yes, it is possible for your cycle to become irregular, anytime you've been ill or had to take a medication. However, it would be best to have it checked out to be sure. The FDA lists spotting as one of the typical side effects of Canex V, so it could also just be due to that, even though it seems heavier, because it can irritate the cervix. Other side effects may include irritation and vaginal discharge. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I have pimples on my face and my doctor recommended Canex T, but from the posts I read here the cream is for vaginal infections. If I continue using it on my face will it help? ## Canex-T is listed as containing the active ingredient Clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medication, it can be used topically to treat fungal infections on any area of the skin, or vaginally. Learn more Clotrimazole details here. That said, no it's not going to help with acne.

Hi. I went to a general doctor on saturday with an infection. I had a rash and was given Canex T to apply but this week im on my period and the rush is worse. Sunday and monday it was better before periods. Please help. What could be the problem? Should i use Canex V or what? ## Hello, Tebza! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. What type of rash is it? Are there blisters, is it itchy? Can you please post back with more details? You may need an oral medication, such as an antibiotic, if it's an infection. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, it it's something viral, then it will need to go away on its own.

my virgina is itching around vulva, i went to the pharmacy and they gave me canex v cream cant i just apply it only around vulva since it is not itching on the inside? ## No, using it that way will not effectively eradicate a yeast infection, if that's what is causing the itching. To do that, it needs to be inserted inside your vagina, just as instructed. Have you consulted your doctor to confirm whether or not you have a yeast infection?

I wrongly inserted canex t instead of canex v with applicator inside my punani, what can I do now ## From what I've found, they both contain the same active ingredient, but it is always best to double check with your doctor to be sure.

Can a man use canex crean on his private part when he have some balls their? ## Hello, Don! How are you? I can't find anything that specifically lists what the ingredient is in Canex, there are various things claiming what it is, but nothing verified. However, it is listed as being an antifungal agent that can be used to treat yeast infections and other fungal skin infections, which means that it can be used by men or women, it is not gender specific. However, it will only treat fungal infections, according to the information I found, so you should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, before using it. If your problem is caused by something else, such as a virus or bacterial infection, then this cream isn't going to help. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi I woul...
