Hi!
I find it interesting that someone said in their post that their itching
got better when they started to low carb. I read somewhere recently on
the net that many diabetics get itchy between the thighs. If you have
PCOS you may not be diabetic but you are probably insulin resistant. If
you are doing something for the insulin (low carbing or Met) it may make
sense that your itching went away.
If your itching is not caused by IR it could be caused by yeast. I've
experienced this before. Like someone else stated, keep the area really
clean and hydrocortisone cream on the external areas does help. So does
the cream that you buy in the pharmacy for a yeast infection. Just rub
some in the itchy area and if it goes away it was probably yeast. God
bless! Tera
