I've done the vitamin e. I put 2 capsules in the microwave for 10-11 seconds and then carefully squeeze the oil out. That way, I know it is pure and clean. I used it for about 2 weeks but was in so much pain that I did not notice any great difference as I was also having a lot of severe irritation from a hem product. I quit the hem product.
The other day when I was really burning ,I went back to vit e and it seemed to help. It can't hurt! I also ran out of ideas and for about 2 weeks now, I have been using a sitz bath with epsom salt many times a day. I really think this is the best thing that I have tried over the past 5 months. I used to do the shower thing but you can't get it soaked enough. After a 10-15 minute sitz, I have another one in plain water for 2 minutes in case the epsom had irritated my skin. My doctor kept telling me to sitz. I did try but could not sit there for any length of time. But this time, I just made myself get through it. I have still been in agonizing pain but the sitz has given me a glimmer of hope.
