Hi,

Canesten cream contains Clotrimazole which is an anti-fungal drug. Clotrimazole can itself cause burning or itching sensation when applied on open or abraded skin.In case of swelling or burning sensation, you should stop applying the cream.Ice pack covered with a thick cloth can be applied on the swelling to reduce discomfort. Anti-fungal drug can be taken in the form of oral tablet.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
