Hi anyone else suffer with this? What products do you use?
Thanks
Vulval dermatitis
Re: Vulval dermatitis
Is this the same as vaginitis? Dd was destroyed with this for years, we found the moo goo irritable skin cream helpful.
Re: Vulval dermatitis
It could also be a condition called lichen sclerosus. Definitely go to the doctor to get it checked out and they will recommend an appropriate treatment. Make sure you wear cotton underwear.
Re: Vulval dermatitis
The general advice for vulvar skin conditions is to wash with just water and use topical steroids if prescribed.
Re: Vulval dermatitis
If you are menopausal or peri, oestrogen applied locally to vaginal area might be of use. Worth discussing with a GP who is clued up on menopausal topic.

Re: Vulval dermatitis
Thanks everyone. Should have said but was rushing that I have been with a Gyne and he thinks this is what I have.
Gave me a steroid cream which Im not joking burnt that whole area!! He has also referred me to a Derm. but even privately that could take many months.
I was just curious as to whether anyone here suffered the same and what they used.
Thanks for the replies. Anon as know too many and a bit embarrassed.

We also used cortisone 1% on dd but wary of using it much as they (I believe) thin the skin.

Re: Vulval dermatitis
I was going to suggest the same as worth exploring, it can take about 3 months to alleviate symptoms. Even with the diagnosis you have it could be worth looking in to as atrophy/dryness due to reduced oestrogen would exacerbate symptomsSally wrote:If you are menopausal or peri, oestrogen applied locally to vaginal area might be of use.
