    Cut out the oranges for a bit. 3 times a day will dry out your skin. Get a spray bottle and sitz with water/salt or water/borax. Not sure where you are but buy some ointment like you would use on a babies sore bottom. Works a treat. Good luck!

    The cream you are using I find the best. With test, get her to use smallest possible insert. If you are tearing really easily tell her how worried you are. I have to get knocked out for them now and they can give you something to gently rub in to ease pain when weeing for the next week. It’s almost barbaric but it is so important. I feel your pain on this. Good luck 😘
