Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

I’m a sufferer. I have vaginal and labial atrophy and a recent biopsy suggests lichen sclerosis. I cannot touch my genital area at all except to apply the Clobetasol Topical and I have to be very gental or the skin will tear. I can only blot with toilet paper to dry after urinating. This has killed any chance of being sexual and I am miserable.

Where do I go for real help?

Good morning @searchingforrelief I’m so sorry to hear that you are suffering with this. How long have you had lichen sclerosis? Maybe we could ask @januaryjane and @artist01 to enter the conversation and tell you how they have coped. There are several discussions about lichen sclerosis you may want to read.

Are you seeing a gynecologist for this?
