Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

I have had my lichen sclerosis under control for years by doing 2 things: do not wash with soap in the genital
area, just rinse with water every day. Then every day cover the area with petroleum jelly
to protect the membranes.
If a flare up occurs, rinse and use vaseline after every trip to the bathroom.
check out lssupport.net for all kinds of info.

@drd79, I am glad you have your lichen sclerosis under control. I have tried petroleum jelly, but how do you prevent this from getting all over your underwear? My gynecologist said I should not wear pads. Any advice is appreciated as I do not ever feel my LS is under control. Thanks! @joybringer1
