Skin irritation
« on: August 18, 2020, 02:35:45 PM »
Hi all just wondering has anyone had red skin under pubic hair from outer lips towards knicker line both sides? I’m constantly checking my Vulvar because am suffering terribly with VA and for a few days now have noticed the redness. It feels hot and irritated ???

Yep.  What are you using for the VA?

My hair has been itchy in this heat, never problematic when it's cooler.  A little talc may ease the sensations.  Or Savlon rubbed gently after a cool bath.

Hi CKLD am using vagifem 5 nights also Ovestin and am 6 weeks on hrt Estraderm 50 patch. Had all this since last October. Things improved after Xmas but came back worse beginning of June that’s why I asked for HRT. Waiting to see specialist but appointment taking ages

As oestrogen levels drop so the body may become dry = itchy.
