Hi, I am scheduled for a biopsy this Thursday. I will keep you posted. I am glad that this group is here because this type of cancer is in such a private and personal part of the body and the comments steady my emotions.

Hi,
I had an excisional biopsy on 11/2/23 and it took a week to get the results back and it is not cancer. I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus back in 2021. The area biopsied was pretty large. The area started to get infected so I have had to take some antibiotics. The healing time is about four weeks and I am in week three. I saw my gyno back in March 2023 about this lesion and she did not seem concerned but when I went back in October 2023, she was. I heard a saying that the vulva is like the small town everyone goes through to get to the big city but never stops to visit. I think I will find a doctor who is more attuned to the treatment of Lichen sclerosus. I did not realize that the risk of vulvar cancer increases if one has this condition.
