That can be a side effect. You need to talk to your doctor as soon as reasonably possible so they can ask necessary questions and ensure you're using it at the right dose in the right way. If you can't reach your doctor, call the dispensing pharmacy and ask for a pharmacist.
This medication is not typically used on the genital area. It’s more often used for both internal and/or external hemorrhoids around the anus. However, it is a steroid so shouldn’t be causing any tingliness or itchiness. That said, some forms may be mentholated, or have other additives such as witch hazel or camphor, to help the discomfort of the hemorrhoids and any of those could cause tingliness.
