I believe I experienced burning from use of Monistat cream. It has been two months and area is still somewhat swollen and burning . I am 64 and have atropic vaginitis. this was probably not the right med. for someone with atropic. any suggestions to calm area ?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Monistat cream.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using a mild steroid cream for local application.
I recommend to maintain a good hygiene.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
