A member asked:

I had my period a couple days ago i became irritated and itchy i scrubbed myself during my bath now it's worse how do i get rid of it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cool it: Apply some ice over it for about 20 minutes. Dry it up and then apply some over the counter Hydrocortisone. If it does not get better, then see a doctor. It is best not to try scrub anything off your body. A doctor may need to see the lesion. Good Luck!
