Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

@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

Actually, you can't, and sometimes it bleeds thru onto the crotch of denims or slacks. The trick is to spread a thin layer; then I don't worry about it. Cotton panties help, or nylon that comes lined. The jelly protects from urine, which makes things worse. The relief I get is worth
washing clothes.
