Re: Lichen sclerosus diagnosis - need advise

Hi Kate, as my problem was physically induced do you think that keeping urine away from the damaged skin will eventually allow it to heal, or am I passed that point?

Strangely I have noticed a difference in my skin problems elsewhere, especially my lip dermatitis/peeling, so perhaps my LS was a precursor for these other problems.

I've started to clean my penis after urinating to make sure there is minimised contact with the skin of the penis.

Some of the red parts have turned pinker.

I'm still not sure I really understand this condition. Is it simply that the urine is conflicting with the damaged area and causing the skin to inflame (auto-immune response ??)

I don't really want to use the steroid cream, I'm not sure what to do next really. Tweet
