Open sores/Underwear!!

Once the blisters become open sores/ulcers I have the problem where my underwear actually get stuck to my sores. And then when I have to go to the bathroom, I feel like am starting the healing process all over again by ripping my skin from the cloth. It is so incredibly painful and frustrating. Sometimes I even bleed! I don't have the option to not wear underwear while at work. Does anyone have any suggestions on a topical ointment to use or something that helps with this????

    I used a&d ointment .

    That will be your best friend in the whole wide world !

    Keep it moisturized at all times .

    Mine were so bad and the discharge was so bad that my male best friend (ex) had to clean out my vagina for me 3 times a day..

    This is your first outbreak or something ?

      Thank you so much. I can handle a&d, and it's easy to get ahold of. It's my second. Last time I just dealt with the pain and the bleeding. This time I will be a little more prepared.

      I felt the beginning signs yesterday morning. Maybe this one will be less painful. I'm not sure. But at least I'll have this trick up my sleeve if I need it.

    Yes, use any kind of zinc oxide cream, whether a&d, another brand or generic.
