I had barely any symptoms at all a year ago except for appearance but after I started using the clob I started getting stinging and burning and pain

so I started using it less and less but that didn't help either so I started using it regularly again and still no changes

I've tried olive oil and vaseline, I don't use any soaps or detergent on myself or my clothes and I just wear loose fitting pants or pajamas all the time

it also is strange because it doesn't hurt in the morning at all, just as the day goes on, it gets worse and worse

I can see my doctor next month but is there anything else I can try while I'm waiting?

thanks ladies!

    Patricia, I totally understand the "good in the morning," and "worse at night." I'm there with you. Mine has been a year and a half and 10 doctors and still unsure what to do. Pain, redness, etc...

    Extra virgin coconut oil helps moisturize. Baking soda in the bathtub, about half cup in the tub may help. Feel free to PM me.
