I want to know,is it ok to apply mustard oil for vaginal itching? As I have dryness too, am on prescribed medication too lucono cream am using as per dr suggest,and some oral medicine

Mustard oil is sometimes used in traditional medicine for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, which may help soothe vaginal itching. However, it's essential to exercise caution before using mustard oil for vaginal itching, especially if you're already experiencing dryness and using prescribed medications. Potential Risks and Considerations 1. Irritation and allergic reactions: Mustard oil can be irritating to the vaginal mucosa, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies. 2. Dryness and exacerbation: Mustard oil may worsen dryness, as it can strip the skin of its natural oils. 3. Interference with prescribed medications: Using mustard oil concurrently with prescribed medications like Lucono cream and oral medicines may interact or reduce their effectiveness
