How can I prevent severe, painful swelling in my private area that keeps happening during the summer, and am I doing anything wrong by trying to treat it with yogurt, coconut oil, C&D wash, Vitamin C, and Avil?
Putting yogurt, coconut oil, or harsh washes on this sensitive area can actually cause more irritation or trap moisture. Avil (pheniramine) can help with itching, but it won't prevent the swelling. Summer heat and friction often trigger sweat gland blockages or infections. To prevent this, keep the area dry, wear loose cotton clothing, and avoid scented washes. Please consult a doctor so they can examine this and provide a safe, targeted treatment to keep you comfortable.
