Silly question maybe??? (TMI)

Can I use sudocream on my vagina? I was thinking yes because you put it on nappy rash on bubbas.

I've been really irritated down there. I've been using femfresh, cotton panty liners, bepanthen, canesten, changing my underware like 5 times a day, going without underware where i can just to ease it irriation and keep it trimed clean. Don't think it's thrush cause theres no discharge but there are so many other pg related things it could be.
I'm going to ask my dr about it when i see him on Tuesday but i was trying to find anything else to soothe and ease the irritation.

Just a tmi question. Are you itching on the inside or outside of your labia? If it is the outside, then it could be a vulval dermatitis, which I suffer from. Basically the one thing that helps the most is elacon (sp) ointment (ointment is better than the cream as it clings) it is often used for eczema. Also not using soaps, talcs, wearing cotton etc. The heat kills me though, really makes it worse.

It could be from the trimming of hair. I know sometimes it makes me more itchy and I think its because the end of the hair becomes really sharp when cut with scissors or a razor IYWIM.

I think it would be okay to use the sudocream.

Mmm you haven't shaved/waxed and are having ingrown hairs? As Ali says, regrowth can get really itchy, and to keep the skin moist seems to help too, from anecdotes I've heard.

Sudocream is ok to use

Thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions.
I managed to get into the dr tonight as it had gotten worse.
Turns out its a type of dermatitis and its spread to around the top of the vagina. (Sorry TMI )
EXTREMELY painful cause it started to raise and blister but hopefully the antibiotic cream will clear it up soon.

I don't even know how things like this start but OMG i feel for people that have any type of dermatitis all the time now!

Good that you got a diagnosis. Hopefully it goes away for good for you. My has never gone and needs regular management.

OMG - Astrid! I have exactly the same problem. It started when I used a hair removal cream down there and gave myself a chemical burn when I was younger . - TMI sorry

Now it can be so itchy it is unbearable. At the moment 1% dermaid is working well but I have to change products all the time to keep some relief. Problem is that every time I have to see a Dr - I can't always see the same one at the clinic and each one wants to give me a full STD check!! I have been tested so many times now its not funny!!
