[Ayesha]

Hi all, update I am now using estridol cream inside and out , VA is much improved . thank you all for your advice and support X

  oh no I spoke to soon. Ive had a flare up!!  Guessing I havent got a good regime going yet.
Vulva /labia really red and sore again, vagina not too bad.  Dont think I was using the estridol or moisturiser on the vulva often enough.

Now using the Estridol in and out every day , and have used Dermovate today as have work.

ive read loads to see its an on going process , just needed to share x

Maiden 1 you asked about moisturisers.  I use olive and bee its very soothing.  May not suit everyone, afraid it is trial and error.  Dont know if you can get it in Australia.

Flare ups may happen as oestrogen levels drop = more dryness.  It will settle!

Its all about perseverance and finding out eventually what works for you and when you do its a relief to finally get there.
I just have to miss one day of Vagifem for the symptoms to come straight back, it's like its all on the surface waiting to break through given a chance.
Total pest of a condition that's for sure!

thanks all X

Hi All,.....I think the estridol 1mg cream is too strong for my vulva . Is this a possibility ? Is all red where I have smeared it ?

I really am confused 

[joziel]

Sometimes if your vulva is really raw or sore, it can go red when you first start applying the cream. Imagine having sore chapped and cracked hands and putting hand cream on - sometimes they will go more red at first. It will settle.

The other possibility is you're having a reaction to another ingredient in the cream, but I think the first idea is more likely...
