Which safe cream can I apply for itching while breastfeeding?

During breastfeeding, it is safe to apply an antifungal cream like clotrimaderm (Canesten) for itching around the nipples. It is also recommended to use a fragrance-free moisturizer like Aveeno or Glaxal Base. If the situation does not improve after 5 to 7 days or worsens, it is best to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
