I also was diagnosed years ago and tired of using steroid creams. My gynecologist recommended coconut oil and wipes and it definitely helped. I' be used a coconut cream and wipes for 10 years and have had no flare ups or discomfort. Easy solution and worth a try.

You are very brave indeed, sending you lots of hugs. Unfortunately I am unable to order the cream you recommended as they don't deliver to Ireland which is where I am based, however I have tried organic coconut cream before and it didn't work. I struggle with the dryness and itching in my groin area. Thankfully everything else in that region is fine, but the itching is intolerable at times and I find most creams, organic or holistic or herbal all work for a while and the immune symptom which is very clever, finds a way around the creams, that's why the steroid cream works as it tricks the immune symptom. I hope some day an holistic solution is found.
