What Should I Use For Itching On The Groin?
Sorry, I new to all of this and am itching on my lady parts and am wondering what I should use. I'll use A&D Ointment and get some relief for awhile, but it will start itching again. I wash and reapply and then this time it is not working. I wash and try some Good Clean Love Lube. Great relief, but again I'll start itching. Is this how it is supposed to be? Should I stick with the Good Clean Love and just keep washing and reapplying?
Thank You,
Kidcat
I find the best way is to just wipe with a clean wet facecloth. Although I have bandaged alot, and with a bandage I don't get itching!
