can my birthcontrol be causing flare up?
Posted , 8 users are following.
I am 31 and was diagnosed with LS approx 6 months ago. almost a year ago I had gotten a brazilian wax and after the second wax i began having issues. I first thought maybe it was just a burn maybe the wax was too hot but struggled all summer with what felt and looked like a diaper rash. Finally went to the doctor as it was getting worse and went thru many tests the most scary being herpes test and all neg, so she reffered me to a derm. Have tried multiple creams and so far betamethasone dipropionate once a day with aquaphor at night seemed to work the best. Was doing great for almost two months and now am having a flare up. Its more located around my anus and a little on the vulva. Cant figure out what has changed except that almost starting my period, I am on seasonal so i only have my period every 3 months. I feel like its more hormonal? Could bithcontrol cuase flare up? Ive been on BC for a while and have never had issues but wondering if i need to stop taking it?

Meanwhile we have to make the best of it. Many among us have figured out various things - watching your food intake is definately one of them. I follow a mainly alkaline diet - no gluten, sugar, dairy, alcohol. Seems to make a difference.
Next to that I'm taking supplements (vit C, D, B's) Hormone replacement due to other health issues, but may have an affect on the LS as well. Then I rinse with baking soda, which has already proven to be very affective. Not to forget the all time moisturizer - coconut oil.
