Hello. Do baking soda capsules give immediate relief? Can it get worse before it gets better? I’ve been trying and did for 8 consecutive days and the irritation at the opening is worse than when I started this. Does irrigating cause less irritation? Just looking for any helpful tips.

Lidocaine ointment? Mentally can’t do this anymore

Has anyone tried lidocaine ointment? I have to get relief from this burn, my mental health is declining rapidly, I have suicide ideation almost everyday..( yes I’m in counseling twice a week and see a psychiatrist )I have had burning for 15 months now. Everyday non stop. Sometimes bearable then so intense I can’t think straight or function. I had to quit my job, quit my hobbies. I’ve changed everything followed every doctors suggestions. Im terrified to try lidocaine because the tissue is severely inflamed. I have sent in a message to the dr for her suggestions, but I want to hear from other woman who have tried the product!! Has anyone used any type of lidocaine that was gentle on skin? I’m allergic to fragrance and any cream based medication seemed to always make things worse. Please let me know what worked for you. I have pain, inflammation on the labia minora and the entrance of the vagina!
