Lichen sclerosis diagnosis correct?

I have the same type of LS that you have - no itching or white patches, just burning. Diagnosed 9 months ago. Pain was intermittent but has been most of the time lately. Was prescribed hydrocortisone when it first appeared. Used it for a week or so and it seemed to help, so I stopped using it. Trying to get in to see gyn this week to get re-checked. Need more information from her and possibly another biopsy. These posts help a lot in knowing I’m not alone and what people are doing to control this condition.

@sandy07 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m glad you found us and have jumped right into the conversation. Please let us know what your gyn has to say!

I am glad you will see a gyn.. A WHNP, or PA who has been doing women's health for a long time should have the skills, and knowledge to help.. steroids take about 2 mo to see clearing of LS.. one starts high and tapers down. All these women using coconut products seem to be getting relief.

Can’t seem to find a way to edit my post but I noticed that I said the hydrocortisone seemed to work and I stopped using it, but what I meant to say is that I continued to use it. Sorry about that.
