Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

Hello, ladies. I am also in your boat—had a partial vulvectomy 2 1/2 years ago, which did not achieve clear margins. Since then, I have been through two rounds of treatment with imiquimod, which is very irritating. So I, too, wear longer skirts or harem pants (available through Amazon) without underpants. I have found that I can wear leggings in a size or two larger, so the crotch doesn’t touch my vulva. Feels funny, but works! I strongly second the advice to get biopsies whenever recurrence is suspected. I also rely on Aquaphor to soothe my skin.

Just curious as to what it feels like when things touch against your vulva?
For me it’s a feeling of soreness and tenderness.
I need to be careful when getting in & out of my car & when sitting.
Just doesn’t feel the same.
Is this the new normal?
