An Experiment with Borax

We can't stop looking at the pictures and comparing. Be sure to do that if you can. The last couple of days my husband has soaked a small cloth that he'll place over the entire area and press it up against it. We've left it on like that for about 30 minutes (he doesn't hold it in place, we just lay it there). But I think applying by qtip was what has done the trick with the fusing. I hope you have some success!! Definitely let me know and I'll of course keep posting here about how things continue to progress for myself

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that this working for you too Anna! It's still so hard for me to believe that is, but like you, every time we look it's getting better and better. Hopefully others will give this a try and we'll continue to hear positive results. I've heard a little bit about emu oil, but I think it'll be hard for me to get ahold of here in Vietnam. So in the meantime I'll stick to my vitamin e and jojoba oil + essential oil mix.

Hello Alistar,

Thank God for the brave women on this site who have shared their stories and treatments.  I've learned more here than from my ob/gyn and other websites put together.  Also, it's so comforting to know we are not alone in this.  

I'll let you know if the emu oil is worth the extra price.

Hi Alistar

I have received the Borax and have made up a solution but not sure if I've put enough Borax in it, also did you dissolve it in warm water? I also have the Emu oil and starting to try that. I've been on the steriod oitment for a month now but most days am still feeling strange in the vagina area, not itchy just a strange feeling. As you have had remarkable improvement with unfusing using the Borax, and I want to get it right I need to get the ration of water:borax correct, I think i've probably made it too watery as I've applied the solution for a couple of days and don't see any changes :-(

Essentially what you're you going to do is add the borax to the water, stirring to disolve (you don't need to heat the water). Once you've gotten to the point where, when you add more borax, it doesn't dissolve, you then have a saturated solution (meaning the water is "thick" with borax and cannot hold anymore). I applied it both morning and night, taking photos both times of day. Things didn't change overnight, so give a week or two. Dip a q-tip in the solution and apply it. I didn't just "rub" it on once, I dipped applied, dipped applied a few times. Once I'd done this for a few weeks, I started soaking a cloth in the solution and gently placed it on the affected area and lay down with the cloth on. I would leave it 20-30 minutes. Don't give it! And don't lose hope.

Hi Alistar

I got my borax online as it's not available in the uk.

I was using it daily for about four days, but it seemed to make me very stingy. So I stopped using it sadly, I was wondering if I had possibly made the solution too strong, what do you think, and have you unfused big time? I am going through a lot of stress and my clitoris is now itchy, any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you

I have had some stinging but it always subsided after a very short amount of time. And for me, the stinging seemed to match with some of the fusing releasing. As for your solution, is there any borax sitting at the bottom of the class? It should be fully dissolved, and if it's not dissolving after some agitation then you probably have used too much borax (we make some and use it over the course of a week or so, so some borax always settles to the bottom until I give it a good stir). How are you applying it? We used a cotton swab to start, just dipping it in the solution and then dabbing it over the white plaque and along the seems of my labia. Damn that stress, is really wreaks havoc with our LS! I would make sure to keep moisturized, use vitamin E or jojoba oil, or coconut oil. I've not tried Emu oil but apparently it's really good. I hope that a solution can be found for you. I'm sure you've read that Anna777 has had some really great results using the borax as well. Not sure if what I've said will help, but I hope it does!

Hi Thank you for your help. The borax does dissolve but when it is left standing there is quite alot of borax sitting at the bottom of the jug. Also over a period of time the solution has evaporated and left borax again at the bottom of the jug. I have noticed today the white lines have come back on the crease of my labia. I have been using emu oil

When I leave my borax out I do put a cover over it. As for the white lines, again I can only speak to my experience, when I had them show up since my use of borax (I did stop for a short period to see how my body could handle things, and then stupid stress hi), I made up some solution and started applying it, and actually gently rubbed at the while lines I had. I found the white lines "rubbed" away - I feel fairly confident that the white lines I experience was the fusing starting to take place.

My obgyn perscribed Proctofoam for my itching. It works

I have been using borax for about 5 days now and am very happy. Less itching and i think i am down to zero swelling now. still some white, still tender, still fused over my clitoris... but things are turning a regular healthy pink! And i can only imagine continued improvement! Anyway, i know it's been 3 years since kippy's post, but maybe one day someone will read my response to her and it will help them. I noticed when i left some borax solution in the sink, it dried up and left behind a shiny crystaline structure. Later, when walking my dog, i had some stinging. Different from the normal LS burning feeling. Like actual sharp little stinging as i walked. Couldn't help but wonder if it was the crystaline structure of the borax solution that had dried up but remained on my skin? I have sensitive skin, so i thought that might be the case. I also wonder if it is that same jagged structure of the molecule that helps with unfusing? Anyway, my solution was just to rinse off a strong solution before doing a lot of movement. I do not intend to give up the borax! It is the first thing that's ever actually helped me!

Dear Megghan 6...I believe your stinging is because you didn't melt the Borax solution. completely in warm to hot water...make sure it melts completely

Glad you are are getting better

I've been using a mixture of fine borax powder that I mix into an oil based solution called Yes and I apply every day and night for the past four years. Recently I decided to just apply the solution with out the borax and within twenty four hours I started itching! This is proof that the addition of the borax is the best way to treat the ongoing symptoms of LS.
