I used Nystatin powder (the external type) to ease the itching and burning as well as to absorb excess moisture. ==>Ellen, that's a good idea to use nystatin powder to keep the area dry and ease itching and burning. Well done! I've also mixed nystatin powder into a pure cold cream (coconut oil is better) and applied it to the area so it stays on longer. I even used it on my grandson's diaper rash with great results. > > However, though I've had some itching in that area I have not had a full blown episode since starting this program 4 1/2 weeks ago. That's a huge plus for me! ==>That's wonderful Ellen! May I post your message in our Success Stories folder? > > My personal advice: Stay on program, keep the area as dry as possible and use a topical antifungal...whether it's Nystatin, OR washing with garlic water, OR massaging in some coconut oil after bathing. ==>Garlic tea works wonders (in our recipe files), and also doing a sitz bath with it (a sitz bath is usually done in a small dishpan, just so it will accommodate your bottom, or in a bathtub with a low level of water).
