I have to say I’m impressed with my GP. Asked for treatment yesterday and have it today! Thing is I’m offf on a riding holiday tomorrow (horse not cycles) and I don’t know whether to start it or wait til I get back. Don’t want side effects to ruin my hols.

The sooner you start the better, but no harm in delaying a few days if you'd feel safer. You might find applying an emollient to the vulva (eg Epaderm or Hydromol ointment) useful in the circumstances. Have a lovely holiday.

Get it up there tonight ;-) and see how the area feels. Take it with you, enjoy your trekking. It's something that I did in the 1980s
. Until a horse ran away with me
KY jelly works for me on the outer areas or 'ovestin'. ?? update on your return with 'photos ??
