two days ago I started adding coconut oil to my routine and tonite im going to squirt warm water with baking soda. I have ordered Natural Estro-Life Cream and Diprobase (though now realize in the US is the same as Clob, which I use, but ok because I can always use more). 

I was very nervous to put anything new to my parts - fear is my enemy - but LS IS WORSE! 

The coconut cream is going good. It does feels good not to be so dry. Not sure why im so scared to squirt on the baking soda - maybe because of the rawness and affraid it will burn? Anyway, just clob alone is not working any longer and am blessed to have found this site to be able to try other things to see what may or may not work for me. I realize its all trial and error. My main hope is for the cut above my clitoris to heal and the fusing of my clitoris hood to be released. Thanks for reading and thanks for being honest and telling your story for folks like me to read and follow!!

    Beth, do not worry, The baking soda and water just makes you feel clean.It neutralizes any urine that may be on your skin....so further reduces itch problems.

    The coconut oil has been a blessing for me. If I had known years ago about these

    two "fixes" I would have saved myself years of agony.

      How do you buy the coconut oil because the jar I bought for cooking is in a solid block ?

      I just use a knife to pack some into an empty cosmetic jar. It melts on skin quicker than butter.

      Thanks Morrell I thought I had bought the wrong thing. I also use it with a little bicarb mixed in to help whiten my teeth !!!!!! so ok for both ends !! Just goes to show all the natural remedies seem the best.

    Hi Beth

    Good luck with your trials. I know I keep going on about this but have you tried tea tree anticeptic cream. I have found it has healed me well and I now only get an occasional flare. I too use the bicarb solution and its works well too to keep me feeling fresh as all the creams we use go horrible between showers so the cleaning effect of the spray makes you feel good. Best of luck.

    Dermovate is Clobetasol, in the UK , Diprobase is a moisturiser for eczema and itchy skin conditions.

    Remember blood and tears are salty - you contain salty or "normal saline" body fluids. This is about a teaspoon of salt to a pint of water so should not sting. Plain water will be far more uncomfortable.

    How has your new regime progressed? any better?
