I Need Help With A Flare Up In My Vaginal Area

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Oklahoma City, OK

I am noticing more outbreak in my private region. I’m currently on Cosyntix but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with at home treatments for helping symptoms and flare ups in this area. What foods should I avoid? Is there any topical medication I can apply to help that area? Any advice would be appreciated.
