Hi

I have had Vin for 10 years and recently I had biopsies done and they have come back as a mixture of low grade at my vulva but high grade nearer my back passage.  I am really struggling with the pain as I have growths and unfortunately I am not a candidate for surgery.  I have been given cream for the itch and to try and stop the pain/stinging but nothing it working.  I am so sore even just sitting let alone trying to go the toilet. does anyone have any suggestions that would help me as I am getting so depressed with it. 

  • Hi Caza13

    I am sorry to hear that you have has Vin for 10 years now. It does sound as if it is really uncomfortable for you. I can understand that it is making you feel depressed. Are you able to contact your doctor to say that the cream is not working for you- just to see if there is an alternative?

    While you are waiting for someone to reply who has been through similar why not give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses. They may be able to make some suggestions that will help. 

    I hope you can find something that helps soon.

    Jane

  • I have pains and very uncomfortable. Tried Hydromol cream (ok but not great). Best thing for me is Aloe vera gel, I put some on a few times a day and at bed time. Also put some in the fridge to help the burning pain, nice and cool. Might be worth a try.

  • Thanks will give it a try.
