Calmoseptine (menthol/zinc oxide) "I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis of the Vulva, I suffered severe itch, shedding of skin, cuts and burning pain after urination. After many visits to the hospital, specialist, and expensive compound ointments made, I came across calmoseptine in a chemist and thought, why not? I applied a few times a day, initially it stung for a few seconds, but then gave a cool tingly feeling. The itch stopped, it provided a barrier during ruination and healed the cuts in a few days. The skin in that area healed and haven’t had any symptoms for years. Every now and then if I get a flare up, I apply and the symptoms usually disappear within a few days."

Calmoseptine (menthol/zinc oxide) "I had raw buttocks (inside cheeks) uncertain cause. Accompanied Pruritus. Dermatologist or internal doctors did not recommend any product. I tried butt paste . It help itching slightly but raw appearance didn’t improve. After research. Came across mixed reviews on Calmoseptine. I felt what the heck. I really have nothing to loose. The biggest complaint were some slightly burning from product. If scratching area than certainly it would burn a little. I was very careful not to scratch area before applying. This is amazing in less than a week rawness it’s almost healed and no Pruritus!! Please give this product a try if you’re having issues."

Calmoseptine (menthol/zinc oxide) "If you use Calmoseptine in your groin area for skin irritation, it is very helpful, but if you need to go through the full body scanner at the airport because of i.e. artificial knee, be prepared for a pat down. Apparently an ingredient in the product is also used in making explosives."

Calmoseptine (menthol/zinc oxide) "Doctor gave me a sample for inflamed perianal and genital area. I was surprised to find it so gritty, like there was sand in it. Also I did not care for the menthol cooling/burning effect. The pain of the irritation was reduced but the whole area is still red. I think just plain zinc oxide would work better."
