Hello, Anon!

Thank you for posting.   

One drugstore ointment that comes to mind is Vagisil which is used to  treat external vaginal itching and irritation.   Replens, Lubrin, Sylk, and vitamin E vaginal suppositories, are used for vaginal dryness. What prescription were you given?    I assume your doctor thought a prescription was necessary, so you might want to ask him or her what else you can use instead.  

best,

Helena
