    I have used Vagisil cream which contains lidocaine an I feel that it helps. Good luck Elaine.

    So sorry you are going through a bad flare up.

    Try Cortizone 10 ointment and/or Emuaid Max. A padded ice pack also brings some relief. Try to cut sugar, wheat and maybe eat gluten free for awhile.

    Pretty sure I have read posts in the past where a woman in desperate straits mentioned using it, but I think I would use it as a last resort. Any recommendation from your doctor or pharmacist?
