Does anyone else experience a aching sensation from Ls, I've only recently been getting it, it seems to only be on the pubic mound and doesn't seem to last too long

    I get achy toward the entance to my vagina but im thinking it is from dryness from menopause and atrophy which also causes irritation.Are you in menopause or have atrophy?Im not sure what causes mine yet..next apt i hope i remember to ask.

      Yeah I sometimes get it there,no I don't have any atrophy and I'm just 20 so not in the menopause, i started having symptoms of itching last Feb, but didn't get a proper diagnosis till this month as I wasn't showing any of the visual signs of Ls. I'm guessing I developed it because I had some severe psoriasis in the past, so maybe that's why I get the aching soreness in that area where the normal skin is, do you have eczema or psoriasis?

      Lee,

      If you use a moisturizer ( I use coconut oil morning and night) you will cut the drynss and discomfort.  It is not a cure,  Just makes you feel better.

    I had a sort of aching pain in that area and then after noticed that the clitorus had fused over.  Keep an eye on this in case that is the aching sensation you are talking about.

      Ah yeah, I haven't noticed any fusing, but I will keep an eye on it. My aching pain is further up not really near my clitoris, so I'm not sure what is causing it
