I have had this itching of the vulva area for 2 years now, gyn said she didn't know what it could be. I went to a dermatist, she prescribed PROTOPIC ointment 0.1% and said it was very common among high stress women. This was the only thing that cleared it up. It does come back sometimes but if I use the ointment at the first sign of itching, it stops. I know how everybody feels!!!! the itching can drive you nuts!!! mine really acted up at night, I had many nights of no sleep.

I'm not sure of you're still reading this but if you are I would love to know how long it took for the protopic to start working?
I've also been given this by my dermatologist for itching/painful vulva and started to use it last week. So far it hasn't helped and only made it worse: it itches more and burns all the time (not only after applying it but the whole day). Is this normal when you start using it?

its so depressing my Gyno/Specialist prescribed me Protopic 0.03% it only gives me SOME relief and walking makes it worse and i start to itch more, just curious how are things now? are you still itchy or just comes back sometimes? i wish she couldve prescribed me the stronger ointment ( 0.1%) not sure if it wouldve helped me the same way it helped you aghhh im so sad this is really driving me nuts
