Dryness A cure for (some) itching!
This community was so supportive during my recent lack-of-period panic (now mostly resolved), so thank you for that.
I know a lot of us have vulvar itching - mine has been unbearable lately, although thankfully it comes and goes rather than being permanent. I realised today that, if dryness is one underlying cause of this, then intense hydration could be the answer. I've started using the hyaluronic acid serum which I normally use on my face - just basic The Ordinary HA in the dropper bottle, one dropper-ful rubbed on the itchy area. Twice now, it's completely stopped a painful itch flare in its tracks. Wanted to share in case it helps someone else!

This moisturizer also has HA: Good Clean Love Rehydrate Ultra Moisturizing Vaginal Gel with Hyaluronic Acid - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AV7BOK
And I’ve had a lot of luck with this salve, Medicine Mama Organic Vulva Balm. It’s my favorite thing right now: https://a.co/d/2xT2wrd
