Help!!šŸ˜©

Since having my LO. I have been dealing with some bad dryness as well as a yeast infection that I cannot seem to get rid of!! And itā€™s driving me nuts!! I cannot do simply daily tasks without it hurting or itching. I know might be too tmi, but IDC!! I NEED HELP!! Iā€™ve tried vagisil wipes ( medicated ones ), Iā€™ve tried azo yeast infection, as well as epsom baths. All throughout my childhood Iā€™d struggled with yeast infections. But none this bad!!! The only thing that helps is if Iā€™m soaking in water!! I canā€™t do that 24/7!!! Someone help!!! UPDATE: I never thought in a million years Iā€™d say thisā€¦. So my child has an over abundance supply of diaper cream okay? I thoughtā€¦ if it can be used around their genitals it can be used around ours right?? Soā€¦ itā€™s open soresā€¦ so I put some on and IMMEDIATELY relief!! BEST BET ILL BE KEEPING DIAPER CREAM IN MY CAR FOR NOW ON!!!

I also had recurring yeast infections postpartum! So sorry youā€™re dealing with that šŸ˜“ For the internal infection, my Dr prescribed something stronger than typical store bought remedies like vagisil. It knocked it out quick! For external itching, Iā€™ve recently started taking baths with baking soda 1-2x per week and it has made a huge difference for me! Finally seems to keep things at bay! Maybe chat with your OB and give the baking soda bath a shot? Good luck!

@Valerie Iā€™ve went to my obgyn numerous times about this and all they do is keep sending me a pain relieving cream which doesnā€™t help the dryness, nor solves the problem!! It sucks!!!

Have you tried boric acid suppositories? Make sure youā€™re wearing 100% Cotton panties, not polyester (most VS panties are polyester) so she can breathe. Drink tons of water and maybe look into natural vitamins you can take for the dryness. As for the diaper rash cream girl yes!! I got HORRIBLE razor burn from shaving once and couldnā€™t walk from the pain so I said f it and lathered the cream on and it was a LIFESAVER. Lol.

Try to eliminate as much sugar from your diet as possible, sugar feeds the yeast. Also try to cut out anything that has yeast, like bread. Coconut oil has antifungal properties, putting on a thin layer should help combat the yeast and will also help with the dryness. Has your doctor given you a prescription antifungal cream? Like nystatin? If not you should ask for some. Also start taking some probiotics!

Try yoni oil!!! I had the same issue then started using that and boric acid
