Okay do here's a question I hope some can help me with. The ulcers down there seemed to be healing with the new steroid cream. But now as of about an hour ago, that horrible itching is coming back again and it's not even gone... Does this mean they are going to get worse? Or that it's itching from healing?

Mine itched when they healed and for ages after... My first bout out had where the size of a 50p coin buth sides (won't go into too much detail) however they itched even when there was only the scars left... I also used to sit in a bath of cold water and put I've on to sooth x

Hi Jennifer,

I just wondered if you have ever tried using an inhaler for your ulcers ? It is one of the inhalers that Asthmatics use and instead of inhaling it you aim and squirt directly onto the ulcers and within a couple of minutes it stops itching and is soothed. It stings a little to start with but that soon passes and for me has always been the most successful way to get rid of ulcers in difficult areas that are very uncomfortable.

Maybe you could ask your consultant if you could try this option ?

Take care xx

For me the itching is the worst when they are healing. I hope you get some relief soon.

I will have to try to steroid inhaler. I have one right in my kitchen. Considering I have asthma also. I can't seem to loose to win medically anymore blahh!!!! Tmi I know It's my entire vulva area including where I pee...:/ it's horrible!!!!!!! I've been researching so much in regards to this diease and I feel like it's the stress of my own life which has caused it to come out full force.

I have crushed up colchicine tablets and made a thick paste to apply to the ulcers, it seemed to help a bit. I also take the cardboard roll from inside the toilet paper roll and cut it in half. I keep a couple in my purse and use the as a tube to pee through to keep urine from touching the ulcers (at least most of them). I throw them out after use. I find it helpful, especially when out and about.

Hi there...plain yoghurt is very soothing and kills some bacteria fungal, itching and inflammation. I also pee in a warm hip bath with a little sea salt and tea tree oil in the bath.

You can use these as an addition to any other meds etc
