Hiya im 38yrs old and im in the menopause.it will be 2yrs this dec since i had a period.the burning down below started last dec went to doc wasgiven the usual treatments for thrush and it just continued.had swabs done and they were all clear.i saw a dermotologist in march and had a biopsy done and it came back as non specific chronic inflamation.i was given daktacort but it done nothin.i saw another dermo in may and she suspected i had lichen scelerous and gaveme dermovate ointment i used that for over 2 months and still no relief.in between this my doc gave me different tablets thinkin it could be vulvodynia and nothin helped.i recently had another biopsy done by a gyno who thinks its all down to the menopause.ive been taking femoston for the last month and before i started that i was using vagifem.i have also used ovestin cream only on the outside areas.ive tried rosehip oil and vitamin e throughout these past months as well.im so sorry for the long post but im at my wits end.its a nightmare doin anythin i just want to get home and take my pance off. can anyone recommend anythin i can use i just want it to stop...thanks so much xx
