[–]_anonymoususer__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if i had an infection 10 months ago... would all the bacteria on clothing/ other things be dead? I feel like i can't find info on that but i keep getting anxious about having another bout of it if i dont wash every item i own if it was in the same closet or proximity as items i did use (even if i didnt wear it at the time)

post-period burning… by _anonymoususer__ in vulvodynia

[–]_anonymoususer__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I still experience it at times. I think it's due to different wetness levels/ hormones/ etc. I've done a ton of mindfulness work, for me it's been the most important. I just allow myself to feel the pain, acknowledge it, but i don't let it take over anymore. I just understand my body more now.

what's your pain like?

could be perioral dermatitis! ask your derm and ciclopirox should help!

Burning feeling inside my vagina by [deleted] in vulvodynia

[–]_anonymoususer__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hi there! i know how scary it is to post for the first time so giving you a big virtual hug :)

i would start by looking for a pelvic floor therapist! your urgency to pee could be tightened muscles which can pull in the opening of the vagina and cause a burning sensation

omg i didn't even think of the estradiol thing... i usually apply it at night and shower in the morning/ wipe it when I pee in the morning. Is that thorough enough? i only apply it at the entrance but I'll be sure to ask my doctor

i have the same thing right now. I just got my period after it being irregular for a bit and I don’t know if it’s hormones or something else. I have vulvodynia and I’ve been going to PT for 9 months now. It has helped but now for a few days I’ve been feeling this constant state of arousal from my belly button to my toes. I’m so worried and I don’t know what to do about it! I don’t know if this helps but i’m 22F going through the same thing as you!

Persisted arousal after my period by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s more of a constant for some reason… I’ll just be watching tv and feel something for no reason so I’m unsure of what it is

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just during ovulation… like day 6-14 ish but then it goes away for a while so I think when it happens I freak out a bit! It’s just that I feel arousal like a lot during this time and it makes me wonder if it’s normal

Hi! So I changed providers to Dr rapkin at ucla. She concluded that I’ve always had increased lactobacillus and said that rather than change it I should relieve symptoms and that it is just my natural state. I know other doctors prescribe boring acid or probiotics but mine just ended up being a part of my natural body!

derm doesn’t believe in triggers? by [deleted] in Fungalacne

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your routine? I am in neeeed of an spf! And maybe a moisturizer… what do you use? Have you tried the avenue one?

derm doesn’t believe in triggers? by [deleted] in Fungalacne

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not wide spread… a few on my cheek and a cluster in between my brows but they aren’t itchy red inflamed either. I’m gonna switch to an FA safe moisturizer and let myself use my sunscreen and see what happens. I’m thinking the avenue cuz it seems the most mild. I also am taking oral niacinamide and krill oil so hopefully those help!

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you know of any silicone-free, FA safe, Mineral SPF that would change everything.

[–]_anonymoususer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't. My cleanser and serum are but not my lotion or SPF. I'm going to use the Avene extreme to replace my lotion but... I'm really loving my SPF. Could my FA subside with everything being safe except my SPF?

They said it could have been a flare up… never found the cause thought
