Any ladies have this? Have you ever found a over the counter cream that helps?
Any help would be great.
Thank you

    My sister had this but went to the doctor about it. I don't know what she was given (a steroid cream?) and it cleared it up really quickly. Her description of it didn't sound pleasant so maybe you should go to your surgery? Hope you get it sorted!

    I did have some cream but ran out ages ago I'm OK at the moment, but would like to know if there is a over the counter ( or shop online) cream so I can get some in, in case its flairs up again.

    I'd suggest asking a pharmacist at the nearest large dispenising chemist to see what they suggest otherwise it might be appointment time with the GP.

    I wanted to see if anyone else has it and what worked for them, if anything. but its looking like a trip to the GP for me.

    Ask your GP for a repeat prescription .. If they won't give you one ask for a private one instead so you can get the right cream ..
