The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Vaginal/anal irritation
Hi,I am a 48 year old woman. Six weeks ago I developed irritation around the anus and between the buttocks after use of a hair remover in the area.
For 10 days or so it was just mild itching and burning so I ignored it with some cream hoping it would go .
It got worse and and I even had burning at the anus opening while passing stools. There was also burning at the vaginal opening and downwards ( nothing upwards or inside both vagina and anus) SO I went to my GP and she gave me one tablet for yeast infection as the area looked red and inflamed. She also did a pap smear and culture which came back negative for both yeast and bacterial infection. So she told me to just avoid caffine, alcohol sugar etc and see if it went away with OTC anti itch creams.
A homeopath gave me Nit acid and Sulphur, both seemed to bring the anal irritation down but not vaginal. Then the homeo gave me Pulsatilla that seemed to get the vaginal irritation down.
But it BOTH came back again in afew days. It seemed to get worse just before my period, so he gave Calc Carb and causticum for three days. I had my period last week
Again the anal irritation seems a bit better but vaginally I have irritation and burning and soreness just outside the vaginal opening. It seems milder when I get up and worse as the day goes.
I am wondering what this is and if anyone could give me any insights. Is it any infection not visible in swab cultures? Is it just bad chaffing?
My homoepath is away for two weeks so am at a loss for what to do.
I am really anxious as it is not getting cured.
Please help!!!
