I have been going thru this for a while (seems like an eternity!!!!) I have read that this can be caused by an imbalance in your level & allcolinity (sorry not a clue how to spell that) I found a product thru young living oils called "alkalime" and I ordered it. I am praying this works! I have taken antibiotics for this, prescription powder for jock itch, etc.... I had a hysterectomy about 2 years ago and I wondered if it was my hormone patch! So I started weening off of that. So hopefully between the supplement and getting off the patch this horrible itch will go away! Getting into a swimming pool is like putting acid on that area! OUCH!!!! Showers do help! But it just keeps getting worse! I have put holes in my pajama pants from itching so much! I can't take it! So hopefully balancing my ph levels will fix this!
Sit in a tub and make a plaster of thick baking soda and apply to the area. Or use wet tea bags and apply to the area. Both help a lot. The baking soda stings slightly.
This flairs up for me too from time to time and it's awful. I went to a top rated Gynecologist in San Francisco after their office could not find any yeast infection or anything else and they prescibed a yeast medication anyway. I took two courses of this which only temporarily stopped the problem only to have it rebound. The gynecologist advised using probiotics. She said we're now developing yeast infections that are resistant to medication and are more difficult to detect. The probiotics worked! Eating too many refined carbs and also bread and beer since it has yeast are culprits. Yogurt and especially kefir are good antidotes. But if, like me, you don't want to give up bread, use probiotics!
my friend has this and processed foods with chemicals in them caused her problem.
Oh my God! I thought I was the only one dealing with this!I went to the emergency room and the doctor told me that it was Bacteria Vaginitis. I have no vaginal discharge. I have tried all the home remedies in the world. Tea tree oil, coconut oil, hydrogen peroxide apple cider vinegar. All of them are temporary fixes. I eat raw garlic I believe it helps the most. If you can stand the taste. Drink plenty of lemon juice straight also water. I have been dealing with this for 6 months. This is the devil! I scratch my self raw sometimes. It goes away and comes back. I am relived I found this site I will try some of the ideas. I bathe myself 3 times a day. Praying for us all!
I'm glad to see I'm not alone, though I would not wish this itching burning pain upon anyone. I've had this for a couple months now, found its better after I shower, and I've also tried Tucks witch hazel wipes (for hemorrhoids but hey it helps a little) and moisturizer the area with coconut oil (which is AWESOME for just about everything). I read online that there could be a number of causes to this issue, one being the pantiliners you use... I've been using the Kroger brand extra long pantiliners for a very long time but they recently changed the texture of the liner and the adhesive glue (which now totally ***** and the liners don't stay in place well anymore) I was thinking this may have been the cause for me as this condition showed up right after the liners changed materials. I don't know for sure...
