Anything with 20% Benzocaine is what numbs the itch/pain. Lanacane also has 20% Benzocaine, but it's texture is thicker so whenever our family needs to numb a cut, or scratch, a bug bite or anything anywhere, we always use Vagisil as it is a creamier amolient (sp?) and does not dry out the skin. An elderly lady that we care for was using Preparation H for hemmoroids which shrinks the hemmoroid, but it did nothing for the pain and itch. so we mixed it with Vagisil and it numbed her hemmoroid so it could heal. This stuff is great for anything anywhere you want numbed. We use it for everything. Keep in mind, that 20% Benzocaine is ONLY in the purple tube. The blue tube only has 10% Benzocaine and is worthless in my opinion. NOTE: To the person who said it had a strange grainy texture. If that is the case, then the tube is old. That is what happens to it after it's gone beyond it's shelf life.

This product did not do much for me. It caused more problems to my skin than it helped. Not worth the purchase if you are coming down with a yeast infection!

So far it works for me. I have very sensitive skin and currently have a pretty bad yeast infection. I am using Monistat 3 but the itching and burning is so intense I can barely stand it. After I picked this up, instantly the itch is gone. I can still feel mild burning but not nearly as horrible as what it was an hour ago. Thank you!!!

I've been experiencing itchiness due to recurring yeast infections and urinary issues and treating the itch with cortisone, which worked brilliantly. I decided to try Vagisil and it caused instant burning. I had to get in the shower to wash it off it was so bad! Definitely not recommended for people with sensitive skin.

I'm surprised there's any negative reviews for this item, it works great for me, there's no comparison to the regular strength cream. This one has more of the pain relieving stuff in it, 20% versus 5% of the regular cream. I give this one 5 stars because it gives me instant relief from itching and burning from a UT.

Product had a very strange, grainy texture and provided me with no relief at all. The original strength works much much better.

Disappointing, did not give much relief at all. Too much emphasis in putting fragrance in products. Used once and will not use again.

This product caused more problems than the one I started with. I had a severe allergic reaction, which sent me to the doctor. I do not recommend this for people with sensitive skin.

I think that this product works fairly well for yeast infection related pain/itching. The only drawback is that it says to apply a maximum of 3-4 times a day, and if you use the bathroom more times than that a day you can't always re-apply.
