Hi and thanks so much for this query.

To respond adequately to you, I will need some more details.

I don't have the name of the cream. No difficulties of any kind. Yes I had an infection in the same area before the symptom started

Brief Answer:
We may need to monitor only at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Lingering pain which only comes up when you lie down doesn't point to something specific. I will want to believe that these are transient and probably in relation to the past infections but doesn't suggest an ongoing infection or a concerning situation at this time.

I will say, monitor only. If pains persist, take 1000mg of tylenol for relief.

Keep me updated about this.
