Has anyone ever had.....

[sazzlealsop]

eczema (sp) down there?
I got it the first time after using depilatory cream even though id used it many times before and thought it might be a reaction to that. Since then i've had it a few more times for no apparent reason.
Sorry if its too much info but i'd like to know if anyone else has ever experienced this and what creams I could use?
It is like eczema (I have had eczema on other parts of my body) on my outer lips, it looks like dry skin and then cracks and flakes and can be quite itchy and raw.
Please offer me any advice if you can

I've had psorisis down there, sounds similar, I used creams prescribed by GP
Suggest you visit yours.

Have you changed your washing powder, fabric softner or soaps etc, as the perfumes in them can flare up the skin. We use 'surcare' washing powder in our house which is available from most supermarkets and I literally wash anything that comes into contact with 'the area' not forgetting towels and it seems to have cleared it up. (though this is dh's problem not mine!!) coating the area in something like sudocreme will help soothe.

Thanks for the suggestions. I always try use sensitive non-bio as i get ezcema in other places. I thought it might be the change to hard water but i still get it sometimes when i'm at home (soft water). I've got a drs apt next weds so think i might ask him then. Will have to do some research on psoriasis (sp), thats what it seems like anyway

my friend has had this (originally misdiagnosed as thrush ). she used special stuff I think Eucerin? as prescribed by doc for when she had a bath.
