Any advise welcome! I had a vulva biopsy on 29th December, since then I have been inflamed and sore (whole area not just around the biopsy) itching doesn't seem to be my biggest problem. I have tried fucibet (was told only to use for 7 days), emuaid, coconut oil, nappy rash cream, aqueous cream and bi-carb all of which haven't helped, have started using Vaseline today. Have I over done things and just confused my skin with all the different solutions I've tried, I just want to sit and have a good cry now. I am at my wits end as I don't know what to do for the best :'( my follow up apt isn't for another 4 weeks. If I just put up with the inflammation and soreness will it just get worse or will it calm down if I leave well alone.

    I know your pain. I have a warm bath with baby bubbles in it. I can relax and also enjoy the stress free time alone. I have found that eating a healthy diet helps. Sugar and alcohol are the worst for inviting a flare for me. . Trying to keep stress free also helps. I hope that you can find a way of coping, we all have different ways. Hang in there you are not alone.
