Try using Ozonated Coconut Oil instead of a steroid ointment. My urogynocologist recommends this now, and no steroids. I’ve been diagnosed for 16 years. I’m sorry you have this. Stay on this platform for support.

2thfairy. I'm re-reading this these posts as I'm suffering so much. See my previous post here. Did your urogyn say to use coconut oil each time you urinate? Mine did. Also, are you post-menopausal? Using coconut oil causes us to wear pads so that is what I've been doing. I realize that can have a drying effect but what can we do? Seems it's the devil or the witch. I was disappointed with my urogyn last Tuesday as I went to see if there was anything he could see that might be from the surgery in January. He did not even examine me and said I might have LS and to see a dermatologist. I told him "I know I have LS." What option do I have after that visit? I make an appt with a vulva dermatologist that I've seen in the past--just to see if there is anything else that can be done. It's like were chasing an answer and it's just out of our reach. God bless us.
