Burning Sensations

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question for you all. I had a flair up back in Jan, due to a yeast infection, that took quite a long time to get under control with clob. Things are now all healed, itching is gone and in general everything looks back to normal. My issue is this. During and after sex, my vulval area is super sensitive. it feels almost like friction burn (I am using lots of lube). This never happened before. I am not sure why this is happening, because there arent any cuts etc. When I had that flair up I had to use the clob 2x per day for 2 weeks, then tapered to 1x for 2-3 weeks, then every other, and now I am applying every 3rd day. Does this sound like it is more a reaction to too much steroids? or is this just what sex is like as LS progresses (even though things look fine). I have never been offered topical estrogen and am wondering if maybe that would help... Really hoping this will subside 😦

    This happens to me during and after sex. I have very thin scarred skin at the 6o'clock mark. I can minimize tearing and inflammation by reapplying coconut oil a couple times during sex (its annoying to stop but it helps to reapply).
