@andwho - Just looking here at your most recent post, PLEASE seek out a gynecologist.

I do see a dermatologist for other skin issues, but in my 40+ years of staying on top of Lichen Sclerosus (LS) I have only found that my gynecologists were the medical professionals versed in the latest developments on LS. And, just for perspective, I have lived in at least 5 different states throughout my careers; what that means is, I could have run into quite a variety of gynecologists and expertise, but fortunately I always had consistent guidance that (as far as I could determine) was up to date on LS, and could recognize abnormalities and do a biopsy when there was any Q of concern.

I hope seeing a gynecologist is possible for you, and that you find one that you respect and are comfortable with.

Thank you for all your advice, I am seeing a dermatologist & have been to gynecologist. My dermatologist is the one that diagnosed my LS. Am seeing her next month for follow up. Will keep you posted.
