Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?
Women's Health | Last Active: Jan 3 1:54pm | Replies (429)Comment receiving replies
I am using clobetasol 0.5 ointment. Not to keen on a steroid treatment but helps when l am itchy and inflamed. I am 73 and l know it is caused from post menopausal. I use coconut oil or just started with Vaseline healing jelly for my valve. I only wear white cotton underwear and night gowns. Hopefully l am okay with what l am doing. I do check all the time for any changes and l see a gyno and will be seeing a dermatologist this Friday... about the LS. He might have something else to add about my LS. Oh l try not to use toilet paper, just Kleenex that l do not flush in the toilet. It seems to be better for wiping. I also use water to flush my private part. So far so good no flare-ups. I will keep you posted and if there is anything else you can for me to do.. thanks for listening....MH

I used to have something like you are talking about.
For me it was wood.
I have very bad allergies to trees. No one Couldn’t figure it out my nose hurt so bad as well as my bottom. One day, my nose hurts so bad I went and bought men’s white handkerchief. Within a few hours, my nose felt better and the next few days it felt better. I told my allergy doctor about this, and then he told me to switch to Cottonelle toilet paper as it is made from cotton not wood. It worked and for two years I always carry some Cottonelle Toilet paper with me wherever I went.
I do understand the pain you are having it’s no fun.
I did call a few companies and ask them what type of trees do they use for their toilet paper? They told me they buy whatever is available. For me, that’s no good.
Cotton only please
