Hi,
I can understand your concern for itching after intercourse. You have itching at the site of friction and pressure done by your husband. This suggests the condition called pressure urticaria. It may be autoimmune condition, in which the
severe pruritus with wheal occurs at the site of pressure. You
consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. He might suggest few laboratory investigations to rule out any internal diseases. Still, I would like to give you few suggestions....
-The results of treatment of pressure urticaria are relatively disappointing.
-Reduce pressure stimuli as far as practicable.
-Antihistamines help control associated chronic urticaria but rarely reduce pressure urticaria.
-The ultrapotent topical corticosteroid
clobetasol propionate may reduce inflammation.
-Systemic
corticosteroids produce variable responses and long-term use is associated with many potential adverse side effects.
-Other possible therapies include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, dapsone, sulfasalazine and montelukast.
-Ciclosporin and intravenous
gamma globulin have been used in a small number of patients with severe and refractory disease.
I hope this would help you in managing your disease.
Thanks..
Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
