Hi everyone, like lots of people with LS, I have recurrent bouts of fungal type infections of the vulval and anal area.  Last time around - May - I was prescribed a one week course of Itraconazole and then topical Daktacort twice a day for 2 weeks. Ordinarily I would ask my consultant whether or not to repeat this treatment now that I have a recurrence or to try something new this time around - but she is away.  I'd really welcome any views or general advice about keeping infection free.  Every best wish.

    HI, I’m not sure of the best answer, but I use Aidance products which are made on the east coast of the US and seem to have good quality.  They have some anti-fungal cream you may want to look into... everything I’ve used from them seems to help.
