Cures or more promising longer lasting relief for vaginal dermatitis/eczema? steroid ointment not 100% helpful for very long.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is the cause?: The cure would be to find out what has caused the problem in the first place. Allergy to a product you're using, such as soap, vagisil, moisturizer, or medicated wipes? Allergy to a fragrance in your laundry soap or fabric softener, menstrual pads? Stop everything except plain petrolatum or crisco shortening to soothe the irritation. No fabric softener sheets in the dryer. See a dermatologist.
