Brief Answer:
It is not normal.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I would need to know specifically where from the blood is coming and how much is the amount. Usually bleeding does not occur in case of oral thrush. So, I would not consider it normal.

it's not oral,but the blood is present when I wipe and also when I take the applicator out of my vagina when applying the cream.

Brief Answer:
Vaginal suppositories would help in case of fungal thrush.

Detailed Answer:
Good to hear back. It seems that you have a vaginal infection. It is quite common in females. I would insist you to apply some over the counter vaginal suppository such as miconazole (brand name Monistat and others), an antifungal vaginal medication. But that would not take care of any bacterial cause. In such a case you would need to see a gynecologist.
Hope that helps.
Regards
