You are correct. Estrogen cream was wrong treatment. I was treated with cortisone cream and it went away. I never realized how serious this can get. But if treated correctly should not be a problem. It’s a very uncomfortable condition. I have a friend who went to a dr. who treated her incorrectly and she developed vulva cancer. I hope you get the correct treatment promptly. I’ll talk to you any time. Feel better soon

omg. my biggest fear. what was her symptoms with vulver cancer? i cant get help for anything. the nurse practioner who said i had lichen scloeus gave me estrogen crem and it caused intense itching. then i stopped it saw the gyn for a biopsy she was all set to do it then she said she didnt think at that time i needed a biopsy and said she was almost certain i didnt have it but lichen simplex i had told her i had a bad reaction to prednisone but she kept giving me steroid ointment and i got worse so i went back and she said maybe schlorus wouldnt do a biopsy then cause she said cant do a biopsy when im in a flare she said maybe in january she doesnt even know whats goingon with me i have a appt with a new gyn butits not until nov 18. soonest i could get. i have also on topof that have hd recurrent uti's for 10 months i thought a urologist would help he wouldnt even examine me cause he said he didnt want to make me more sore if i had lichen scholus he wouldnt even helpwith that just giving me the malignant answer like you did. i did have another bad uti all i got was a 7 day course of antibiotics, told to buy ellura and d mannose not even another appt. these drs are gonna kill me. i have no lesions or anything its just red and raw i dont think that qualifies as vulver cancer. i dont know the point in trying to scare me on a sunday when i cant do anything
