ON April 2014

i got my very 1st yeast infection they gave me diflucan to take for a day the burning inside had went away but the itch REMAINED i went back and they found nothing(i kept going back without any solution given) until they gave me a pass to go see a specialist (A year later though!)We actually had our appointment over the phone 1st and she said it was eczema she gave me clobetasol to apply 2 times a day but IT MADE it worse my vulva started to peel, it was red 10x itchier and just ugly.I emailed her right away and told me to stop using it, so then we had our appointment so she can see what was going on.She did a swab on the red skin and it was yeast ( i guess clobetasol was a reason why i got it) so she gave me difuclan for a week to take the redness went away, but my anus was still red (BUT MY VULVA AND ANUS WERE STILL ITCHY)   i went back to see her, she did another yeast culture/swab and found nothing this time.I was fed up so i mentioned a biposy, she said  this could possibly be Lichen simplex chronicus  and that 1st yeast infection might of triggered the non stop itching (the yeast infection i had a YEAR AGO)She gave me ANOTHER OINTMENT to take

Im tired of these dam ointments she even prescribed me anti depressants to take at night.

The ointment is called PROTOPIC OR Tacrolimus. It seemed to help A BIT but lately i just feel uncomfortable not sure if its the side effects (1st week of using it about to go on 2nd week).After looking online i found 2 girls who had the same problem NON STOP itching and used protopic and the itch vanished so i had some hope it would work for me. But now i dont,know im ready to throw the towel if this doesnt work i dont know what to do anymore

wish i could get hit by a train this is so depressing! just want my life back

    You will thank me for this. This is my version of the recipe. (On successive applications, I added one more drop of Frankincense to my recipe below).

    Apply to vulva. Apply to outer and inner anal area. 

    Possible bit of extra itchy for a very short time when first starting. Within a few days you will get much relief. Continue for as long as you think is needed. Keep it around for any flare-ups. 

    My recipe is below: Use pure essential oils. I use NOW brand essential oils successfully. You can get these online from Amazon:

    2 TBSP hexane-free Castor Oil,

    6 x drops Frankincense,

    4 x drops Lavendar

    3 x drops Lemongrass

    Other types of possible remedies on this website.

    Hi i have been having the same issues for the last 6 months.. did anyones pap smear come back abnormal? mine did  but the dr says no cancer or no pre cancer.. so im confused what it could be.. my dr gave me meds for a yeast infection.  Those meds didnt work so now im beginning to think this might be eczema because my legs have also been breaking out bad with eczema.. which I havent had in years.. so it makes me think this might be the soap.. tight pants I wear to work and mayb the detergent and or thongs I wear... Im looking for answers but my dr doesnt have any
