Suggest Treatment For Painful Rashes In The Peritoneum In An 81-year-old
I am an 81 year old woman and not sexually active.For the second time in a month I have a painful rash in the peritoneum. The first time, my urologist gave me a salve. I don t think it worked. I used an antiseptic salve Germolene from the UK and also Vagisil powder. It went away but has come back. I am using Vagisil anti-itch cream but results are temporary and it is not curing it.
