I am so sorry to hear of your discomfort. As an eczema sufferer, I know how frustrating it is to itch. I can suggest washing yourself with cool water and rubbing in Sudocrem to the area. Only wear cotton underwear. I know living in Australia it’s very hot but try and keep cool where possible. I hope you get some relief soon

Have you looked at allergies? My eczema (and asthma) seem to be directly related to food issues.Might be worth trying a rotation diet (leave out a particular food for a couple of weeks, see it it feels better. For me, eggs are the worst culprit.

Dear Contra21,

An ex Girl Friend, from some years ago now, used to 'Itch' around her anus and her vagina- She, like you, just wanted it to STOP! Relief, though not an entire 'cure', came by changing her Washing Powder, Perfume- especially the 'In Bath' one- and a few Dietary Adjustments.

Without being 'Crude' here, sorry if this sounds it, but I 'Noticed' that this was Getting Better when there was no longer Blood in her panties- or on the bedsheets. I never actually Commented on this, to her, I didn't want to embarrass her.

Sorry if this 'Teaching Grandma To Suck Eggs' but, I just thought, that I pass on 'Carol's' experience(s).

I really do hope that you find relief soon,

AndrewT
