Hi All,

I am a Brit currently residing in Mexico and needing some advice on moisturisers - natural or from the pharmacy.

I am 28 now (diagnosed at 16) and now I am pretty much completely dry down there. I need to use lube every time have sex and I am using Dermovate when I have a flair up. I am looking for something to use daily to keep the area moisturised. Back in England I would usually use Hydromol (an emoliant) but I need something accessible in Mexico. What do you use as a moisturiser?

    I have tried three or four to date (I am recently diagnosed) and the one that has worked best for me is pure vitamin E oil. I buy the oral pills, I pierce one of them, squish the oil out and spread over the affected area. In my case, other moisturisers create a whitish "debris2 layer 24 hours after applying them (I have tried Yes OB, Vea Oleo and Vaseline), which makes things worse for me (my main affected area is the clit). The other thing that helped me a little is using a hyaluronic acid vaginal moisturizer. I use it both externally and internally, and it refreshes and hydrates the skin and mucosa. I hope this helps!
