Dr now telling me not to use "anything" to let the air get at the ulcers but this is not helping! What do I do since no one really seems to know what to do about this condition esp when it gets this bad. Was diagnosed several years ago but have never had this much trouble before.
Me again....also does anyone know anything about this Emu oil that I have heard about?
Emu Oil, Sara 2217 has been very comforting for me. Especially after a flare up recently.
I mentioned the emu oil to my specialist on a recent visit to Mercy Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, because of the comments on here about it. She said not to get it but rather purchase dermeze cream which is cheap and easily bought everywhere. As far as I know emu oil is not being recommended in Australia and it is readily available here and much cheaper than you would be buying it in Britain. I am also going to use vagifem after my breast screen next month is clear again on her recommendation.
It is not going to doing any harm of course and it is personal choice but that is what the Australian view is from the leading women's hospital in Melbourne which runs a clinic just to address this condition a half day every week.
I will stick with the dermeze because it is an emollient and never harms me and provides the support together with Advantin fatty ointment which is used every second day. The dermeze can be used every day with no problem.
Just to let everyone know the Australian view. If anyone is in Australia and having emu oil recommended by a vulva specialist clinic I would be happy to hear about it.
Cheers,
Kathleen.
