Coconut oil?

So Ive been having vulva irritation and slight itching for a month now. I've been tested for everything and it all started from UTI, which became a yeast infection due to antibiotics, and now its gone but my gyno suspects I may still have one externally. But I was just wondering if anyone has used coconut oil to help soothe the skin. I've used it every where else on my body so I know I'm not allergic but I'm also hesitant about putting things on that area that don't really belong but I wanna try!

    I think you will be OK with the coconut oil, I drink coconut milk and have used the oil for cooking and baking now for ages.

    If you are sure you are not allergic I'm sure you will find that it can help with you itching.

    Another alternative would be the aqueous cream or a vaseline type of salve.

    Best of luck with everything.

    I have used coconut oil in that area. Mixed with a bit if tea tree and lavender is a great thrush remedy . Good luck.
