Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

Posted by Kitten92 @kitten92, May 22, 2017

Is anyone out there dealing with this disease? I am currently using a compound ointment that my oncologist prescribed but I'm looking for possible lazer treatments or anything else that might now be available.

I am using clobetasol 0.5 ointment. Not to keen on a steroid treatment but helps when l am itchy and inflamed. I am 73 and l know it is caused from post menopausal. I use coconut oil or just started with Vaseline healing jelly for my valve. I only wear white cotton underwear and night gowns. Hopefully l am okay with what l am doing. I do check all the time for any changes and l see a gyno and will be seeing a dermatologist this Friday... about the LS. He might have something else to add about my LS. Oh l try not to use toilet paper, just Kleenex that l do not flush in the toilet. It seems to be better for wiping. I also use water to flush my private part. So far so good no flare-ups. I will keep you posted and if there is anything else you can for me to do.. thanks for listening....MH
