Re: lichen sclerosis sucks!

I was recently diagnosed with early stage Lichen Sclerosis and was prescribed a steroid ointment. The ointment does give relief, but it only lasts a couple days, then I have to use it again. About 10 days ago I ran out of my usual bath soap (Dove) and used a bar of homemade soap. I don't know what was in it; it was one of those brownish tan rough square bars, perhaps with Lye in it. It gave me great relief, and I have used it every day since and have not yet had to use the steroid ointment again. I have had zero burning or itching. Tweet
