[QUOTE="Jessica4999, post: 2223918, member: 326266"] Found this thread very interesting. Have suffered from T2D for a number of years and am a post menopausal woman. I suffered from the most horrendous itch down below and was referred to a gynaecologist. I was diagnosed with something called Lichen Sclerosus. For years now, I have been on a regime of washing with Dermol500 (already mentioned) and a strong steroid cream (Dermovate) whenever things flare up. Am checked annually. However, a couple of years ago, I DID have a coincidental bout of thrush when seen and was prescribed Canestan HC (it has a small amount of steroid in it). Sometimes it is difficult for me to know which condition is causing the itch! However, having read that sugar in the urine can be a culprit for thrush, I am going to be a bit more diligent in monitoring my sugar levels (currently treated with glipizide and metformin). Having had a difficult time over the festive season, all of this is making sense. PS. A message for Belles. If nothing is working, please go back to your GP and ask to be referred to a gynaecologist or dermatologist just in case it is NOT thrush that is causing that horrendous itch [/QUOTE]
