Title: external vaginal itch advice please
Post by: warwick01 on September 05, 2019, 06:31:35 AM

Morning Ladies

Can anyone advise on a product I can buy to resolve this external itch that's driving me mad. It wakes me up during the night and is located in one area at the top of the vagina. Its a tingle/itch sensation and something I can't ignore.

Thanks Wx

Morning warwick,
I found that YES VM helped with external discomfort/itching, it is quite watery so be careful when you squeeze the tube!!
Maybe you need something like Vagifem to completely sort it out x

My GP gave me a tube of Canestan steroid cream. I was doubtful but it has actually worked very well.

Canestan made me burn  ::)

Let us know how you get on.  I find 'KY Jelly' adequate on the outer area. As well as 'ovestin' internally.
