Hello Dr. I am breastfeeding a 2 month old baby. I hv got a fungal skin infection on my right breast just below underarm. It looks like a ringworm infection. Can I use panderm plus plus cream on this. Is it safe to use on the breast during breastfeeding. Or please suggest some cream to heal faster as I am worried for my baby.

It is fine to use local cream after feeding and wash before the next feed and then apply again . Or if it is on one side only try feeding the other breast after the cream is applied and wsh before feeding from the same breast
