I have been diagnosed a month ago, but have had this for about 20 years. I was given clob and Premarin and had a biopsy and am waiting to see my regular doctor next week and have been referred to gyno. My Dr did not explain at all, biopsy was so painful and she was bad at it. I found online that I was using clob not correctly so just changed that. I'm wondering about a raw area... Beside just washing with warm water and baking soda... Anything else so it heals quicker? I have not had intercourse in six months due to pain and just thought dryness from menopause. I am on bioidentical hormones and was given vagifem about a year ago. I have quit eating all grains and sugar. I'm following _____________ and believing I can heal myself. any suggestions? Other than this, I am healthy, not really overweight, active outdoorsy person, stress is my big one that I need to get rid of.

I got some bad information on one doctor visit so upped the frequency of cortisone use in response to raw spots. This just made the raw spots worse! What works best for me is sticking to a diet of food that's good for me and plenty of chlorine-free water.
If you do heal your self be sure to let me know what you did
But for now make sure that you are moisturizing I use evening primrose oil and coconut oil and Vaseline when I'm out or at work and are you using steroid ointment to stop the flare up and keep it in control
Yes I'm using the Clob steroid 2x a day, premarin 1x day, and coconut oil I've just started trying to add for the day. Yes I will tell if I heal myself...
Hi cindy89869. My area's are raw to. I use aqeuos cream to wash the area.it helps. I wish I could find something yo take the pain away. I can't have intercourse either as its too painful and thd area starts bleeding. Hope you find something which hrlps doon
I use the emuaid was bar and cream every day. If bad do clob at night and emuaid in the morning. Heals cracks on perineum quickly and keeps the area moisturised and comfortable.
Thanks I may try that... stress is my big flare up but believe combination with hormones... affected by grains, sugar.
My findings are that the healing is a slow process. Slowly but surely though. Next to the things you already mentioned I also use coconut oil. Have used Emu oil as well under more severe conditions.
Do you use straight Emu oil or Emuaid? And can you use it daily like coconut oil?
When I use Emu oil it is straight Emu oil. I prefer coconut oil at the moment.
Hi, I recently had a flare up and used Manuka Honey along with my usual meds as a trial. Worked brilliantly. I had read that others were swearing by this. I was quite surprised that this worked so well. I have since researched Manuka Honey and it is used to heal open sores as well.
Thx I will try to find that
Most supermarkets sell it here in the Uk. It is expensive but it supposedly works better than ordinary honey. Good luck
