Support/Advice Itching

Hi everyone,

I have intense itching all around my inner labia and have for over three years. Currently not having any luck with doctors at all. Does anyone have any remedies or OTC meds that could possibly help? I have been using the brand "syren" lidocaine as i am allergic to the good clean love lidocaine. I've also tried a number of other creams like v magic, emu oil, coconut oil, and i feel like any creams just make things more itchy! I've spent so much money on products and at this point i'm just looking for something that works so i can get back to doing some of the things I need to do. Thank you everyone in advance!❤️ Also, I think it may be related to hormones.

Do you have any other symptoms or new symptoms after the itching? Might wanna try yeast infection cream if you haven't ON the skin bc it's possible to take a med for it and it do nothing or very little for the skin sometimes!

I was just saying because I've burning for 6 years and half of it was a yeast infection that wasn't cured with oral meds is all! Right now I'm trying a cream for a different disorder but the topical helped with irritation from the yeast.

Damn that's crazy! Unfortunately I don't think that's the case for me but i'm glad you were able to figure it out!!

the itching that i'm having and the itching i've experienced with yeast infections are very different, which is why i suspect it's probably not that
