What Causes Itchy Rash On Vaginal And Anal Areas?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have been suffering with a rash to my vaginal and anal area for over 2 weeks now. I saw a nurse practitioner and a dermatologist. Both seem to think it is some type of contact dermatitist. I have essential thrombocythemia and have been on Hydrea 500mg since December. I have never had a rash like this that I cannot get rid of. It itches so badly and is not responding to anything. I have tried hemorrhoid cream, diflucan, terazole, temovate cream, and now aclovate. The temovate seemed to be working but the doctor said it was way to strong so I switched to aclovate. It is still flaring up and sometimes my hands, neck and face start to itch. I don't know what else to do. I am trying Boudreaux's Butt paste tonite because I am desperate. Do you know what it could be?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The itching may have multiple causes such as both contact dermatitis and a fungal infection as well.
You may want to consider allergy testing to see if you can determine what is causing the contact dermatitis. If you can determine the specific allergen it would help.
Changing your soaps/detergents/lotions to simple non allergenic agents with minimal components may also help.
I hope this helps
