Hello Ma'am,
We will try to use a 0.5% hydrocortisone cream (Cortate™) twice a day until you return, trying not to apply directly to the genitals. You should feel relief within 24 hours.
Also, try to avoid wearing your wet bikini for long periods of time, which can help maintain the itching.
True to your heart,

Thank you and would some "elocom", 0.1%, cream prescribed by my doctor for something else, do the trick as I have it with me. In the meantime I put on the equivalent of Zincofax that they put on for babies and it relieved the itching a bit. Thanks for the reply

Yes, Elocom™ is much stronger, but will also do the trick.
Apply this cream at a rate of 1 time per day, rather, until you return.
