Embarrassing Medical Question :/

Hi Klkshsu,

I am sorry to hear about this. If it is in fact vaginal dryness, a lube may help. There are many types on the market, but I would suggest System JO or Eros brands. System JO is developed by a pharmaceutical company and is extremely female friendly. They both make water-based and silicone-based lubes. You could try either one and see if that helps. If you need help finding them, let me know as I am in the adult party business.

Good Luck!

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about your very annoying problem. Did you find a solution yet? If you are not having any success resolving this concern with your conventional doctor, please consider coming to see me. There are natural treatments we can certainly try & I'm confident we can figure this out.

Good luck,

Hi,

I had a similar experience after the birth of my son. It itched like crazy in my vagina after his birth (c-section) and I scratched it with toilet paper when I wiped (just like you!) My OB/GYN told me it was like my body was in menopause (because of the breastfeeding) and that is why I was dry and itchy there. I stopped breastfeeding my son when he was 6 months of age but did not get relief for another six months (so he was one by that point). I would use Pampers Sensitive Skin wipes to wipe down there when it started itching and that would relieve it somewhat. However, I never had welps that looked like mosquito bites. I would definitely get that checked out. Maybe you are scratching so hard it is creating blister like areas. Hope this helps!

When I was pregnant, I had a similar issue with a spot on my shoulder. It itched all the time and it seemed like nothing I did would make it stop. The only relief that I got was from using baby oil gel. Not sure how that would work in your situation. Have you tried doing a sitz bath (look on the internet for various suggestions or recipes) or sitting in some baking soda and water in the tub?

You might want to go ahead and get a STD check just to be sure. You can do this very easily by registering over the website: www.tstd.org and then going into a local lab to give blood and urine samples. You don't have to give your name even and at least that would rule those possiblities out.

HI,
I bet it is female jock itch. Try a jock itch cream for about 4 weeks to make sure it is good and gone, and make sure you are always very very dry down there. I am guesing this is what it is. I have just found out what I had for months now is just common jock itch, and am in the process of eliminating it. Check with your husband if he has any sort of issues as well because it can be passed back and forth to eachother.

Hi there-

I think the advice that you got to go see the dermatologist is a good idea. I would try that next. I will tell you that I gave birth in January and just recently I had a fungal infection on my stomach. I know it's not in the same area as yours, but I had VERY itch welps that looked like big mosquito bites as well. My Dr. told me to us Tinactin cream (the foot fungus medicine) on them and believe it or not it worked and they are gone. It sounds like you may have the same thing just in a different area. I bet it's a fungal infection of some sort and just because it's near your vagina and butt doesn't mean it has to be a yeast infection either. Sometimes after a major trauma to your body like birth your body gets out of wack and this can cause all kind of strange things to appear on and in your body. Just to give yourself some relief I would definitely use an anti-itch ointment like hydrocortisone until you can see the Dr. That might help a bit, unti they can figure out what is going on. Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon!

This is a longer shot, but it may be a condition known as vulvadynia. Vulvadynia usually involves pain, although I would not be surprised if some women have just itching.

You can get more info at the Vulvar Pain Foundation website and http://www.vulvarpainfoundation.org

I have vulvadynia myself, and I keep it 100% under control with a low oxalate acid diet. You can get info about it at the website. Basically the excess oxalate acid that you are peeing out is irritating you.

It's easy and free to try a low oxalate acid diet and see if it helps. Also, try gently washing with water after you pee to get the "acidic" pee off of you. Make sure you have a bottle of water with you when you go to a public restroom. A little water on toilet paper is enough.

I know that you have anal itching, which makes me think it's something else, but you've already been tested for various infections.

Hi - if you havent tried a Dermatologist - skin doctor -maybe you should give one of them a try before you try your regular GP or OBG/YN - if it truly is a skin-related thing maybe they would be better equiped to handle it and treat it - GoodLuck - S.

It actually may be a hormonal issue and you can purchase hormone supplements in the forms of pills or creams that might help you. Many chiropractors offer these types of products. Good luck!

Hi sweetie,
Don't worry. This happens to moms sometimes. I have had really good luck with essential oils. I would suggest rose geranium. It reverses all skin conditions and is aslo hormone balancing. Other oils are good too. All you do is add some to a carrier oil like olive or vegetable and or a lotion and rub it on the sore spot. You can wear it like pefume or apply to the bottom of your feet too. It works like a drug. It takes about 20 minutes to get into your blood stream. You can learn more about them on the internet. You can go to the library and check out a book on them too. You can order it online at www.aromaticbotanicals.com
Hope this helps,
