Allergic reaction when using doppler...help :(

[keelie_b]

hi, i posted this in second as well hope thats ok.

Im having a major reaction to the angel ultrasound jelly that im using with my doppler.
wherever the jelly goes where theres hair it goes angry red and blotchy, itches like mad and burns big time! Its really quite painfull.
Im getting the loudest heartbeat just where the pubic hair starts so im going to have to stop using it

Is there anything else that i can use?

Has anyone experienced this reaction before, and can anyone suggest something to help with my "little problem"
I havnt used the jelly for 2 days now but im still really inflamed (is that the right word?) but i cant even wear underwear at the minute its not good!!

ooh i dont kno sounds nasty tho! hav u read the ingredients or googled the brand? maybe tell ur MW ask if theres an alternative. were u ok at the hosp scan?

 

[keelie_b]

yea iv been fine at the scans so i dont know whats causing it.
I just need some relief from it now, if feels exactly like a bad dose of thrush wil all the itching and burning but on the outside, its now all over the pubic area

Oh sounds painful I don't know what to suggest to calm it down, maybe some E45 cream or something like sudacrem on it to ease it abit?

In the future when you want to use your doppler it's fine to use lube instead of the gel you are using, I used durex lube with my doppler and it worked just as well as the proper gel

lots of dopplers work with just water.

I couldn't be arsed buying the gel so used aloe vera after sun gel and it worked a treat

Didn't someone use KY jelly and that worked fine also

baby oil gel too

Yep I use Johnsons Baby Oil gel with my Angelsounds doppler - has worked perfectly every time. Plus you can then just rub in the oil afterwards to try and keep those stretch marks at bay!! That hasn't worked for me tho
