red box *LADIES ADVICE*

[blistering love]

My skin down there is very red around my (Monis Pubis).I'm not sure if this is due to an impending outbreak or ingrown hair.However, even after my outbreak has healed, its still very red and patchy.Is there some sort of cream,lotion,potion that i could put down there? If it doesnt get better I'll go ask my GP or dermatologist. I have really fair skin, so am prone to in growns which im awaiting ingrown hair cream. Also has anyone had laser down there?  If so does it cause outbreaks and get rid of in growns- they can be a whole new pain game by themselves! 

 

I think i had a very mild outbreak on my buttocks and this purple dot about the size of a coin /quarter is still there after months. Is there a cream that can reduce the look of it?

 

Thank youu (=

I have had HSV2 for almost 35yrs and have experienced too many outbreaks.  There is a product by Unda called "Calendula Cream" that I started using 20yrs ago and it offers relief and is very gentle. I did have laser hair removal in the groin area and there was no herpetic reaction so I hope the same for you. I now get sacral outbreaks but mine are very intense. That may have been your buttock outbreak. Perhaps Vitamin E mixed with Lavender Essential Oil diluted with coconut oil or olive oil could be used to reduce the scar. I make an amazing ointment for myself but I am not a medical professional, just someone who has scoured the libraries and internet for many years looking for answers to this nuisance.  All the best to you in your battle.

Thank you, ill defts have a look into that cream and see if i can get it in AUS. Aw im sorry to hear that  I hope you're able to find some relief, maybe in a form of a spray? They should just come out with a range of products for genial herpes,they'd make a killing. Hope they cure this so that we can all get some relief.Take care and thank you

I use a homemade cream with coconut oil,  peppermint essential oil, tea tree oil, and Shea Butter.   Seems to work great for me..

Honda, do you have a recipe? I have all of that at home and I want to make it

[Honda450r]

1/2 cup  Shea Butter 

1/2 cup coco butter

1/2 cup coconut oil extra virgin 

1/2 cup almond  or olive oil 

10 -20 drops peppermint essential oil.

 

1. Combine first for ingredients in a double broiler.  Until melted. I'm sure the microwave would work but haven't tried it. 

 

2. After melted place in frig  for approx hour until slight hard.

3. Add desired amount of peppermint  essential oil

4. Mix with beaters for 10 min or until nice and fluffy.  

5. I store mine in a zip lock container in the frig as it gets a like runny at room temp.  

 

I use it every morning.  No outbreaks for 9 months also helped me with the constant tingling.

Destin diaper rash cream has worked wonders for any type of irritation I've had. Make sure to get the fragrance free kind if you try.

Yes! Desitin Baby Diaper Rash Cream (  in Purple Tube, it contains 40% Zinc Oxide) and Bactine Wound care Spray , in the band-aid isle, can relieve irritations, redness and burning. It's a miracle and I highly recommend these two items.  Spray the area after your bath, let that dry, then apply the cream and don't wear panties. Letting the area get aired out will help in healing.
