Re: Lichen Sclerosus KEEP HOPE

Hi EB

Reading your link makes me so sad because you are so young to have LS. I am nearly 60 and have been diagnosed also 3 month ago. Looking back I realise I have had it for much longer - possibly 10 years. I have been back and forth to the doctors over the years only to be told I had thrush. Like you I have never had white spots. When I had sex with my husband the pain was ridiculous. I felt as though there were tiny paper cuts on my vulva - which was bright red. I wash with Hyromol which calms the burn and itching down for a little while. The steroid cream was great at first but not after continuous use. I have just read that maybe a diary/gluten free diet may work? Here is hoping as I will try anything. I will come back and let you know. I hope the new Perrins continues to work. Take care Rob X Tweet
