@alju, My GYN prescribes the compounded cream. We have tried so many different variations of the cream, but thus far this one works the best. I use it all the time. I can apply every 3 hours. To me, it is better than taking pain pills so I continue with this. Yes, my skin is irritated, but I get some relief from the compounded RX. My medical insurance does not cover compounded drugs and I pay for this each time. It takes my pharmacy 3 days to prepare the compounded mixture so I have to watch the remaining supply and I am sure to get the RX when needed. I can find skirts that are long enough because I am short. It is great in summer when I can wear my men's underwear under a skirt and no one is the wiser. With all good wishes, @joybringer1
