Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I have found that sometimes the steriods can irritate you. Some people have a really hard time with them. Wish I could be more help.

How long ago did you stop using the ointment? Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 > lynn, > still using the ointment till i see my gyno on march 4th.It does help with the dryness but the redness remains > I was told to not use it more than 14 days at the max. After that, the skin will start to break down. I used it for only 7 (or once my symptoms were gone). I would try a day or two without it and see if it helps. For dryness, a great product that doesn't seem to bother those with vulvar pain is AstroGlide. I found that Replens and KY both caused me chemical burns that required 1 week of steroid ointments. The vicous cycle! Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 It can be as simple as broken blood vessels on the surface of the labia. The redness would not go away given that scenario. Hey, if it ain't broke - don't fix it!!! Enjoy your pain free world! Congatulations on getting rid of most of your symptoms - how did you achieve this? Dusty Question for anyone I have posted a few times but dont get alot of response but thought i would try again.I had a biospy done 2 weeks ago as my vulva skin was very red,the gyno gave me nystatin with a steriod in it until the biopsy came back.My question is.....Why am I still red but all the other symptoms are gone? Hope someone can help me on this matter melanee Please discuss all methods of treatment with your practitioner.
