Vitamin E? Olive oil?

Has anyone every tried applying vitamin e or olive oil topically? I have a dry spot at the entrance of my vagina, but I'm scared to apply anything as creams/gels seem to make everything worse.

I wouldn't it causes infection

Someone else on here said they were using Coconut Oil as a moisturiser. I've not tried it so don't know if it will work.

I was given a tub of emulsifying ointment (also known as emulsifying wax) which I think is basically a parafin wax that you apply each day. The gyno said it keeps things nice and moisturised and it's really unlikely to cause you to have any sort of reaction.

I've found plain baby oil to be very soothing plus vaseline mixed with a drop of lavendar oil. I think the oil justs stops friction in my case but it really helps. As for infections I think we're all a bit different because I get UTIs if I use water based lubes but not if I use oils. The only way to find out if it's going to help you though is to try it seeing as we're all different!

I use E oil, I think it smooth it, it is not medication so it shouldn't cause any side effect believe me I have used so much medication down there before to treat yeast and bacterial infection and etc. now I can't use anything. V E did helped me at beginning but now doesn't help anymore. I don't know about coconut oil, where can you buy it?

Ive gotten a yeast infection from using coconut oil before, but it did make me feel better while I used it, vitamin e will soothe the area a bit, ive tried it before too, ive also tried primrose oil, and that also made me feel a little better, but you can get a yeast infection.

Thank you, ladies. I think I'm going to opt to stay away from these oils.
Lavrose, did you get a yeast infection from primrose oil? I'm taking it orally, not applying it vaginally. I hope that doesn't run a risk of infection too

LalaYe- you can get coconut oil from the grocery store (especially Whole Foods, Fresh Market). I cook with it. Be careful about using it vaginally, though. I've heard from several women it causes infections because of its anti-yeast/anti-bacterial properties.

Elc88- I've never heard of emulsifying wax. Where do you get it?

Orally is fine but if it's not directly applied its probably but doing much...

Not* my doc said you can take whatever but if it's not directly applied its not gonna be that effective...

Thanks Alana! I'm taking the primrose oil in hopes that it will help balance stuff out and ease IBS/PMS symptoms. I've also read that over a period of time it has anti-inflammatory properties. I don't expect it to help the V pain much. I'm way too scared to put anything on topically at this point lol.

Coconut oil was ok for me, it is soothing. I would only use any cream as a short term measure anything can irritate me after a while!

Yeah if it works foe your pms let me know! Im the worst
