Anyone else suffer from lichen sclerosis?

Posted by annieparker51 @annieparker51, 16 hours ago

When I have an uncomfortable flare up I get a urine culture for a UTI as the symptoms are similar. But, most times there is no infection. I do use a topical corticosteroid cream. I’m a 72 year old woman. I had ovarian cancer in my 30’s so I know my condition is caused by lack of hormones.
I’d like to hear from others about their experiences with lichen sclerosis.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

This will give you all the discussions on LS (and the list goes on to another page or two). Just click on any link and it will take you to the discussion.
The other members will probably stop by in the morning with all their information.
