Can anyone recommend an over the counter topical cream for a slightly swollen, very, very sore but not itchy labia and clitoris? :'(

It's abso killing me to the point I can barely walk around. I've tried nappy cream and Oilatum excema cream but they seem to make it worse. Even pads of cool water soon dry out and no longer offer relief.

I don't know the cause, doesn't seem like thrush as no thrush symptoms.

Also, I'm confused as to which cream could be applied internally (well, in the folds of the labia and clitoris, not inside vagina). No local walk in clinic near me, doc not open, Etc.

Timodine (sp) worked for DD, not sure if you can get it OTC

The remark about shaving and the subsequent stubble irritating reminded me of that happening. The stubble was like bristles, but only low down, not on the pubic bone or clitoris. It went when the hair grew softer.

Did this ever get solved? I'm experiencing the exact same issue now. How did you solve it and how long did it take?

If it was me, I think I’d try an antihistamine and some ibuprofen before any lotions and potions. Hope it feels better soon.

Vagisil works wonders
