What are some home remedies for vaginal irritation? I really can’t afford to go to the OBGYN or urgent care rn 😭 I don’t think it’s a yeast infection or UTI?

What forms have people gone with?

Anyone else got the Mirena and found their Labido is now literally zero?! And also always getting spots! Love that I don’t have a period but not sure if I can cope with having zero sex drive at all ☹️
