Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hello, Not to be totally confusing, but my name is Melinda as well. I was diagnosed one month ago with VV. It started about 6 months ago after a round of ABs for a UTI. I now think I had a severe allergic reaction to the ABs, but went through months of antifungals and other antibiotics (nothing ever cultured) before getting my real diagnosis. I am now on Estrace topically once per day, in additional to Citrical. Luckily I now feel about 80% better. I am still so dry from damaging my skin. What is the best topical to use during the day? Emu oil? I have been irritated by Balmex and Triple Paste. I read that someone had a reaction to emu oil, so I have been hesitant to use it, but I do feel like I need something in addition to the Estrace to help me along. Also, what is the best lubricant to use? I have read about cold- pressed olive oil but would be grateful for any additional ideas. We're off the marital relations for now but I'm trying to stay optimistic Thank you for your help, Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
