vulvar skin irritation From: T (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 31 Aug 2002 11:11:17 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: beav: "still trying to find cause ofpc bleeding" Previous message: Crystal: "Depo and Pregnancy" I have a reoccurring problem. The SKIN on my vulva (not inside, but around the labia) feels very rough, raised and almost bumpy, but there are no lessions or anything like that. It's Not an itchy feeling but rather very Irritated and painful. The past year I've been checked by 5 different doctors, including an STD clinic. I have been assurred by all the doctors (the only thing they seem to agree on) this is Not an STD. That's a huge relief but doesn't solve the problem. The best they can tell me is that this is a 'heat rash'. I don't buy that. The "treatments" are constantly contradicting. One Dr. said use baby powder, another said, maybe baby powder is irritating you. One Dr. said try neosporin, another said, bad idea. One Dr. said wash w/ anti-bacterial soap in that area, another said, I could be sensitive to soap. Basically, no real answers. No one seems to know what it is, let alone what to do about it. I'm not really sure this relates, but I was diagnosed just 2 months ago w/ Poly-Cystic Ovaries and my hormones were crazy. I started taking birth control pills for the PCO. The irritation seems to have improved, but not gone away completely (it keeps coming back). I have no idea if the BC pills helped the irritation somehow, or if it was purely coincidence. Okay so I have alot of questions that lead to even more questions. 1) does anyone know what this problem is? 2) is there a cure/treatment? 3) Could it be hormonally related? 4) could it be allergies? and to what? Basically I'm not finding any answers at all. I leave the Dr. feeling very frustrated and hopeless. Can anyone help or give advice? Thanks.
