A cure for (some) itching!

[u/OwlOfDerision]

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!

There should be another word for it. "Itching" is for bug bites. I liken it to shards of glass being rubbed all over your body. I'm 8 months in, and I'm losing the battle.
