i have confirmed LS from biopsy vulval symptoms that have been well controlled by steroid treatment and i was doing really well recently.

i have had an itchy/sore bum for about a week and can feel a vulval flare up too, got my husband to look at it (true love lol) and he said there is a small sore looking area right above my anus where the skin looks broken. do you think this is LS? should i just put steroid cream there too or should I put something like sudocrem on to try and heal it? i feel like it is LS related because i have needed to apply my steroid cream to my vulva last few days as i can feel it becoming uncomfortable- i havnt been using the steroid cream for a while as i had been synptom free 😦

i really dont want to get my bum hole out in the doctors unless i have to

    wow I can't believe how many women have this condition. It's pretty common. it's great to be able to share and learn from others, thank you ladies it certainly make you feel not so alone. I'm going to get all these creams. hearing some of your stories is heart breaking that some women have very bad symptoms. I feel sorry for women in past history before all the creams etc were around. how did they cope. bless you all xx
