Irritant/allergy vulvar contact dermatitis treatment advice
So I have either irritant or allergic CD, not sure which one. Started in my 30s with chlorine exposure and can no longer swim in pools. Long story short I switched my laundry soap to Tide without knowing it was common for causing reactions. Anyways usually a flare up lasts about 7 days for me. Phase one itching, phase two inflammation, phase 3 burning when in contact with urine. I removed all clothing that came in contact with Tide. For the first two days I applied corticosteroid ointment to treat itching but if I use it too much it makes it worse. Also using antihistamines which help so much! Then protected the skin with zincofax for a few days. Now on day 4/5 using Vaseline to protect from urine.
Just wondering what other people do to treat a flare up, decrease duration, minimize burning urine phase?
