thanks so much for these posts. My gynecologist insisted that I would need to use clobetesol twice a week for the REST of my LIFE!! Tried that for over a year, but still had flare-ups. And who wants to use steroids forever? -- I have started using castor oil twice daily, with occasional aloe vera for irritation or lavender oil for itch, and coconut oil once during the day for extra moisturizing. Symptoms calmed down quickly, and No symptoms for 1 week now.
Wonder if people are using the castor oil even when symptom-free as a preventative? Or just when needed. Would be helpful to know.
I notice that lots of people ask for follow-ups, to see if these remedies work long term -- so I will post again. Here's hoping...

Also invested in very expensive Dermasilk underwear, which seem helpful when having symptoms
