I wondered if I was sensitive to the diltiazem, when I started to get that itch, and, like you, I wondered why it was affecting girl parts and all over the area, not just where the fissure is. When I get in the bath, it makes me want to pour in boiling water, just to take the itch away! I thought that nothing would ever be as bad as the pain from the spasms when I first got this wretched thing, but this itch makes me want to run away from myself!!
Just a thought, maybe you're using too many creams?
I think Lecia may have a valid point though, that maybe we've killed off all the good bacteria. I've been bathing in savlon, which is an antiseptic, so it does sound right that its killed off everything. And doesn't heat make bacteria multiply?
I sit on a hot water bottle- I know I shouldn't really have it as hot because I've damaged the blood vessels in my bottom. It would actually be funny because my husband says I look like one of those monkeys in the zoo, with the big red bums!!
BTW, have you got a spray shower attachment? Try blasting it with coldish water, it helps momentarily!
