We bought some new bedsheets and we did wash them before use. They are made of cotton. We used them for the first time last night and it was like my private parts were deliberately closing up, burning and stinging. I'm still in pain now! I do get lichen sclerosis from time to time so today I used an ointment I occasionally use, which helped a bit, but now we're back from our walk I'm almost in pain. Should I take a thrush treatment or is this some other kind of severe allergic reaction? Do I need to see a doctor? I've had as much thrush during my life as the average woman but nothing like this, it's really burning. I've taken some antihistamine but it didn't make any difference.
We had to stop using our 15 year old bedsheets as they got contaminated with something else I'm allergic to that wouldn't wash out, that's why we bought new ones.
Is it worth perservering with these sheets if we wash them a few more times? I'm really shocked, I know new clothes have certain chemicals on but they usually go with one wash.
