Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi Ivy, have you used cortisone before? It always causes burning and itching when I use it externally. I'm also wondering about the ph of the suppository. If it's too alkaline, I know that can cause itching. Irene > > Does anyone else get the really bad itching at night?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Have you thought about asking your doc for something like atarax or even using benadryl? They are both oral allergy meds that help some women. L > > > > Does anyone else get the really bad itching at night?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yep, I've already used the benedryl. Doesn't do a thing.
