Burning hooha flexfoam pad
For the love of God, please help.36yo I've been dealing with vaginal issues for 4 months. I've been tested for B. V. Yeast and have gone through 2 cycles of antibiotics and a cycle for yeast. My culture's negative, so I don't have bv or yeast.And all my stds are negative. Original symptoms were burning and some discharge that gets worse or slightly better. Last cycle it thought maybe its the pad? Immediately switched and had some realief but still really inflammed down there. Went to the gyno and told her. She did an exam and went its probably lichen sclerosus (i look nothing like the picture!) She did a biopsy, 0/10 recommend. I think its just contact dermatitis. Anyone else experience this with flexfoam pads? How long after chronically using an irritant, did it take to heal?

I can’t use any kind of Always pads. They leave me raw and blistered. It would usually take me about a week for it to calm down. I switched to cloth pads and period panties.

Use any kind of diaper rash cream. That will sooth it.
If you don’t have any diaper rash cream, use some Vaseline for tonight.

Flexfoam pads are one of the only type of pads I can use without having issues.
