default
Posted on Fri, 19 Jun 2015
Question: Used ky liquid warming gel Monday. 3 days later my partner and I are having symptoms of itching and mild burning. When I check the ky it's been expired since 2009. Could this be what's causing the irritation and if so what to do?

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes, the itching and burning could most likely be due to either the KY gel being expired or an allergic reaction to it.

Please avoid the gel completely, and use an anti-histamine like levocetrizine or chlorpheniramine to suppress the allergic symptoms. Also apply a lotion like calamine lotion to help soothe the itching and burning sensation.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
