the first ob takes the longest to run its course :( Recurrences won't be this bad.
I like dermoplast spray myself ( the blue can, not the red can for the genital area ). It's a topical anesthetic that you can spray on without having to touch your lesions.
Also soaking in the tubby with a packet of aveeno bath thrown in is also comforting.
If you continue to itch and have burning after next week - be sure to follow up on it with your provider. It's not unusual for yeast or bacterial infections to occur along with the first ob in females.
