Vulvar Cancer: Anyone else?

I still experience itching and discomfort 6 years after radiation. Believe or not, baby wipes help! I stick with natural, unscented type. I also just discovered Wellness Love ph balanced vulvar wipes. I picked them up at Target, but they are widely available at other stores. Good luck and let us know if find something that helps.

Is the itchiness, soreness & tenderness normal after all that time ? I am experiencing the same after almost 2 years, is this the new normal?
Wasn’t expecting to still be tender down there!

I have tried many things when the itchiness & tenderness flare up. Not sure what works & whAt doesn’t!
I use aquaphor, lidocaine, silvadene, vagisil & hydrocortisone. Not all at the same time of course !
Any other suggestions out there? Sometimes the itchiness drives me 😠 mad!

Was your diagnosis vulvar cancer? 6 years you still experience itchiness & soreness? Do they say that is normal? I have an appt with my radiologist & pet
MRI scheduled in June. I’ll be asking a lot of questions.
Do you recommend using anything in particular?
I’ve tried many different things but not sure if it is causing more irritation!
What can you recommend?
Thanks for any help!
