Re: Anyone try vitamin E oil?

[Guest guest]

Dear Irene,

I have never even thought to use Vitamin E in the vulvar area. However, I think it's worth a try. I did start using Emu Oil last night. Now I hope it isn't my imagination, but I don't feel as uncomfortable in that area today. I'm using my Clobetasol tonight. On the nights I don't use it, I will use the Emu Oil. Iris

I have used Vitamin E oil. It was very soothing but the next day my symptoms

were worse. I am sure the Vit. E was what made it worse. I used it for a few

days and then quit.

Yes, it helped me - but doc said to be sure to get 100% OIL so as not to get any chemical additives. Also useful was (and is) Crisco - in the can. Another oil that helps me is 100% cocoanut oil, which I also use as a lubricant.

It's never helped me, although I don't think it's made me worse. But I've only tried it during flares and the only thing that has helped me during a flare is Atropine cream. Other women do feel it provides a protective barrier from irritants. I think some women have said it needs to be 10,000 uls something or another like that.
