I have had this now for almost 5 years. The itching and soreness is always there, but sometimes better. My doctor gave me Clobatasol and that helps. My last treatment was Imiquimod, which was not pleasant but it seems to have helped. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but nothing will totally take this away. You didn't mention your age. But, I hope for your sake that no one is pushing you for sex. It would definitely make it worse. Good luck on your journey. Let me know if I can help.

I received 8 weeks daily radiation plus 8 weeks of chemo for vulvar cancer 3 years ago. You don’t realize the after effects from radiation can last a long time, even a life time. I was recently diagnosed with chronic radiation dermatitis. I have had lichen sclerosis for about 25 years that led to the cancer. My radiology oncologist suggested during treatment a gel called StrataXRT that was developed in Switzerland. It really helped me. I just asked her for another prescription for the gel. It is difficult to find in the US however can be purchased through a pharmacy called ProModRx located in Florida. The gel is really expensive however the pharmacy will only charge $89 if not covered by insurance. More information of the product can be found at Stratpharma. I am amazed that more radiation patients don’t know about the
gel.

I also am using various topical steroids but they burn. My doctor recommended combining the steroid with topical zinc or Vaseline that acts as a protectant but I hope I can soon replace with StrataXRT.

Hope this is a help.
