An Experiment with Borax
Posted , 187 users are following.
So, I've been in Vietnam now for just over a month. Haven't had any itching, but the white plaque has expanded and looked like a bit more fusing had occured. Panic set in and of course I was trying not to. However, now that we're here, my husband has been able to start doing more research to help me. And he came across some stuff about borax. So we started an experiment 6 days ago. Not using any steroids, but instead each morning and night he's applying to one side a saturated borax solution and the other side a saturated baking soda solution (as we'd read that some people found baking soda helpful). We've been taking photos in order to compare as we progress. As mentioned, we are on day 6 and there is honestly some change! My clitoris which was quite white has returned to pink. And while the whole area still has some white, the pink is really starting to move in more. The biggest changes are on the side with the borax, with some change on the side with the baking soda (but since some of the borax can get rubbed off on that baking soda side we can't say for certain that the baking soda is having a major effect). We are feeling optimistic about this and I will keep everyone posted. During the day I do continue to add vitamin E oil to keep moisturized.

I use the 20 Mule Team Borax. I don't bath in it, but mix it with water (about 1-2 teaspoons to a cup to make a concentrated solution), and dab it on the area. It has really worked for me.

No, I'm in the states. Try looking under sodium tetraborate - that is what Borax 20 Mule Team is as stated on the box I have.

I am in UK and use Pure and More's Borax Sodium Tetraborate which you can get in different measures. Sadly, however I have just been on their site and they are closed at this time. You may be able to find a link to them through ebay as I am sure that's where I found them originally.

It has worked for me yes. It is soothing. I swob with it (a tiny amount in water) and soak occasionally in a sitz bath with about a dessertspoonful in it. I don't know for certain but assume it is dangerous if you consume it or use too strong a solution. I told my GP I was using it and she didn't seem to be concerned. And I dont use it everyday.

hi
i made up some borax in a small bowl of hot water and all dissolved so i decanted it into 2 small spray bottles to use after toilet and to dab on
i put about 4 teaspoons and it just kept dissolving the water was like murky white but no crystals in, now the water is cooled down the borax has all settled to the bottom and there are all crystals on the side of the bottle is this normal?

Yes it is, it just means that you reached the saturation level of the water and a little borax was left over. No problem and you could add a little bit more water if desired.
