That's a link to my previous question. I got to see a doc today, who says she thinks it's just a reaction to a different type of a pantyliner I was using. The adult form of a diaper rash, she said. She did say it looked pretty painful, so she prescribed me three things. One is this powder stuff, another is a steroid, and something else I'm guessing just in case to treat for infection.

I'm glad to be getting help! But now the worst part, I still ITCH like CRAZY! I can't stop myself! And especially at night! I've done as the doc said and changed my undies twice today so far, and am doing everything possible to keep my area clean and dry. I'm currently wearing no undies! :x

But it still ITCHES it's so BAD!!

Anyone got any tips for stopping the itch? I'm going to try cold water right before I goto bed, as well as purchasing some aloe Vera juice tomorrow. I've also purchased some Tylenol PM (generic brand) to help me sleep tonight, the pharmacist said it shouldn't interfere with any of the medecines. What d'yall think?

What are your tips for quick relief of itch, so I don't scratch it and make it worse?

Doc said if all goes well it should be gone within a week, but at this rate I won't last! :(

Answer 1

have you tried some otc yeast meds or believe it or not hydrocortisone works down there as well and yes it is safe to put there

Answer 2

take a wash cloth soak it in cold water and place it over your genitals, re wet it every now and then to keep it cool, it can help stop the itch.

Answer 3

The steroid should help with the itching. Call the doctor in the morning if it is still this unbearable. Vagisil is over the counter and is for itching, but the steroid should do it along with the powder.
