A member asked:

I think i have a vaginal bacteria infection. until i can make an appointment, what can i do to solve the itching?

Sitz baths: Until you are able to see your pcp try sitz baths using aveeno (oatmeal) powder or clorox. For the aveeno (oatmeal) baths use a packet as sold, for clorox use 1/2 cup clorox for a full tub of water.
