I have the strata XRT in my possession for when I start treatment but I’m still not sure where exactly to apply it…. Is it EVERYWHERE?
So between bum cheeks and anal margin? and what about vulva? external and internal or just external? I wasn’t thinking anywhere inside the vagina but again what about the other female areas?
sorry for asking but my brain is overthinking obviously!
Hello AuroraHunter
Apply a very thin layer everywhere in the genital area, and yes, not actually in the vagina but between bum cheeks, the perineum and vulva.
You aren't overthinking in the least - this is all new to you and it is best to be well-prepared before treatment, so keep asking about anything that you are not sure about!
