About Mentholatum Freddy CC Cream
Vaginal candidiasis, which affects one in five women, is a vaginitis caused by Candida fungi, which are naturally present on the skin and in the intestines. However, the presence of the fungi in the vagina does not necessarily mean that candidiasis will develop. It is said that antibiotic use and weakened immunity due to conditions such as diabetes can trigger the development of vaginal candidiasis, but it can also occur without these factors. Recently, it has been suggested that a weakened immune system due to excessive stress, fatigue, and irregular lifestyle habits may also be contributing factors.
Mentholatum Freddy CC Cream is a topical medication that soothes vulvar symptoms (vulvar itching accompanied by rash) caused by recurrent vaginal candidiasis. It contains the same active ingredients as prescription medications.

Efficacy and effectiveness
This treatment is for vulvar itching accompanied by a rash due to a recurrence of vaginal candidiasis (limited to those who have previously been diagnosed and treated for vaginal candidiasis by a doctor). However, if vaginal symptoms (discharge, burning sensation, etc.) are present, vaginal suppositories (medication inserted into the vagina) must be used in combination.
Usage/Dosage
Adults (15 to under 60 years old) should apply an appropriate amount to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day. However, if symptoms do not improve after 3 days of use, or if symptoms do not disappear after 6 days of use, consult a doctor.
(1) If only vulvar symptoms are present: Use this drug. However, it is desirable to use a vaginal suppository (medication inserted into the vagina) in combination.
(2) If accompanied by vaginal symptoms (discharge, burning sensation, etc.): Use vaginal suppositories (medication inserted into the vagina) in combination.
