hmmm....Ive never had a problem using soap, but it could be possible that a certain brand of soap has some type of irritant in it that could cause a reaction in some people. Have you switched to a diff soap lately? Even the possibility of a new laundry soap could be setting off the infection.. I wouldnt use monistat or treat yourself for a yeast infection unelss you've been diagnosed with that. Knock wood, Ive never had one in my life, so Im not real learned about this, but if there isnt discharge, wouldnt that mean there is no yeast infection? I could be wrong. I dont know. As far as the itch, I would suggest using an over the counter mild type of itch cream either with benedryl or hydrocortizone. Or hell, maybe even preparation H lotion, becuause I think it has some very mild active ingredients. If not that, than I would still suggest using one that says its safe for hemorhoidal itch, because if its gentle enough for that, its probably gentle enough for your twat. For washing, I would just gently rinse with cool water and carefully pat dry. For discomfort, take a couple tylenol. I would do all of this only until the soonest possible time that I could get in to see my gyno. Good luck!!
