Nikodicreta suggests that, in addition to topical treatment, you combat the yeast systemically. I concur. In fact I have a very serious candida (yeast) infection that I am curing systemically by taking supplemental iodine (Lugol's solution).
Hi battra,
Welcome to the forum.
A few years ago I had a similar case of chapped skin on my genitals,
with all the burning and the itchiness you're describing.
I used scent-free zinc oxide cream and alternated with coconut oil
and after with aloe vera gel daily. I used a very light organic soap and water solution for frequent washing. It all went away within the week!
You may want to ingest up to 2T extra virgin coconut oil daily, as there's
possibly a yeast connection, you're approaching it externally and internally.
