Aloe vera and/or Witch Hazel really helps. You can also put a little hydrocortisone cream around the area if it is open.
Lymphedema? I have not been diagnosed with that. I just had an appointment with my dermatologist and had tests done. It is definitely Vulva HS. But I did research lymphedema and have similar symptoms… read more
