Last year I was diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis and i was wondering if anyone here also had this and what their experience with this condition has been and if they have any advice with how to cope with the change that is taking place with my body.
I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It is managable w/ the Cortisteroid cream, but can be very hard to deal with during "flare ups". It will take time, but you learn to adjust. I'm just relieved not to have to buy yeast infection medication anymore...now I have a real diagnosis and take some comfort in that, even though this is a life long condition. Can you relate?
Hi Judy and Jess, I was diagnosed within the last year, but think I've had it for a few before that. I didn't think much because my Dr. put me on Clobetasol Propionate and I just thought it was some sort of rash. Well, I'm still dealing with it and even can't sleep because of itching. I'm going to a dermatologist today and will see what she says. I've started reading other forums and got a bit scared . . . they were pretty negative. I'm mostly dealing with itching and am looking for something to help combat that. I read today that Evening Primrose helped someone. I'm going to ask the Dr. if it's an autoimmune disease (not even sure what that means to me) and if stress can cause flareups. I'm 42, have a great sex life (alot don't with this condition)and don't want LS to hamper it!
