I had stage 3 vulvar cancer in 2022-2023. I had surgery and had my grapefruit size tumor removed along with some lymph nodes. Then I had 6 weeks of chemo and radiation. I went to pelvic physical therapy and that helped some. My skin is still super sensitive and I put cream on it regularly. Definitely cotton underwear. I did ask at my last visit if my skin will ever be better. And I was told no this was my new normal. Let me know if you have more questions. As of November I am still in remission. I wish you the best.

Thank you for sharing.
Can I ask what creams do you use? Do you experience any irritation, inflammation or itchiness?
That seems to come & go with me. Just when I think I’m over it, it starts up again. This really interferes with my quality of life!
