Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
Yes you can. It will help if it is due to a mild infection.
But it is important to know the cause.
Is there an itch?
If so, it may be fungal which is more likely, and you can use a mixed cream with anti fungal and antibiotic contents.
Do not rub alcohol. It is a sensitive area.
Regards
