Analia, tell us a bit more about you. How long have you been dealing with lichen sclerosus? What has helped?

Thanks for including me in this group. I have this condition for the last 10 years. if we have this in a timelline:
I had a histeroctomy in 2006 (at 44), diagonosed with lichen on 2012 (at 50). I was prescribed clobetasol with no results. Flare up every three months. I moved to naturopathic treatment with healthier diet, increasing walking, reviewieing stress around me. By educating myself, I found that maybe estrogen deficiency and talk with my doctor. They prescribed Estriol suppository 1 M. This helped to managed the condition almost 100%. I have some flare ups but minors and easy to control managing my stress and lifestyles. I want to know more about incidents of cancer by having this condition. I noticed a small lump on my vagina recently. I am not panicking, just want to know if there is a research about this condition and development of cancer in the vulva. Thanks!
