Try getting a feme pad - a softened ice pack originally designed to help after childbirth. I have two so one can be freezing when the other one is in use. Or a pack of frozen peas. Cotton knickers if you feel you have to wear something and take care rinsing underwear thoroughly. Try cutting out anything sugary for a few days (this has helped me) or possibly wheat based products. I use lidocaine patches (prescription) on the inner thigh as close to the problem area as possible as it numbs the pain. I have PEMD
which has the same issues though a different disease. Check out Facebook or internet for support groups. Have found out far more from these than from the medical profession. Horrible area to be dealing with but I always tell myself other people cope with a lot worse!
