Vagasil Anti-Itch Wipes!!!!! You can use them all over your body. And they really work wonders for me and I hope you try it and they work for you too. Literally within 3 or 4 swipes itching starts to doll down for me. I literally have a pack on me no matter where I go. In my car in my bathroom in my bedroom literally it's with me everywhere I go.
