I have all the symptoms of LS. I've been to 4 doctors for my constant irritation, redness feeling as if my vulva is stimulated, bumps in prerinum with the white spots. My lady doctor says everything I'm explains is all LS. When they took a biopsy it came back negative. My question is since she says she is sure I have it, what do I do to help myself! I'm on a steroid cream but it burns and I feel like it's not helping! I feel like I can never be intimate with my husband because I am always afraid. I feel like I am on this emotional roller coaster alone! Thank you.

Hi Goldie,
Try soaking in a bathtub with 1/3 cup of baking soda. Also, read the thread "An experiment with Borax". I have healed without steroids, so if they bother you, you might want to give it a try. Also, go without using any soaps or body washes until you get this under control. Just soaking in a tub with baking soda is remarkably cleansing.
Keep well moisturized throughout the day with coconut or emu oils, wear cotton panties and no tight fitting pants.
There is hope and you will feel better soon.

to be safe as it is only of local use. It was prescribed for my
original soreness before LS came to light a few years later.

Also ladies, does anyone get blood blister looking things? I've noticed a few around the hood area! I also feel like the skin there is becoming looser and sagging I guess you could say! When I started having all these issues I was convinced it was herpes! I've never had painful blisters, but the cuts and chronicle irritation made me think other wise! My doctor says that's not the case and has never seen anything to think that! I'm so depressed and sad! I've called two doctors today and not one has called back! I don't want to get out of bed! I don't know if I have ever been this depressed! I should be thankful I have a loving husband and healthy kids but I'm literally consumed with grief of what is happening to me!

I would suggest you read a lot of the discussions on this forum. One in particular: An Experiment with Borax."
?Not all people can tolerate the steroid cream or ointment. I rinse after every bathroom visit with warm water in which three pinches of either borax or baking soda. Then I moisturize with a bit of coconut oil.
?There are a good number of things to consider: cotton undies, avoid soap, check your diet (sugar is a sure trigger with me)
?Hope this gets you on your way.
