there are several home remedies to bring comfort but you really need the clobe to stop the spreading. the sooner you get that going the sooner you will heal the area affected.

Are you having any discomfort? You may need to see a gyn or dermatologist to determine if you have lichen sclerosus. If you do, it is treated with steroids.

Hi Jay, the steroid cream used twice a day for a while should get rid of it...it is best to do this asap really before it gets any worse. The steroid cream is excellent for getting rid of white plaques of skin.

Though the steroid is the first to use to calm things down (very small applications, take note), my other best friends are baking soda or borax. Just recently I had to switch from borax to baking soda. LS also likes variety, that's why. Rinsing after most bathroom visits is mandatory for me. (baking soda at present four pinches in my Perin bottle) Baking soda baths (1/3 cup in a full bath) or a few tablespoons of baking soda in a sitz- bath. Topping it off with coconut oil with a bit of tea tree oil mixed in, at the moment. I had neglected my diligent approach and now pay a price. Hope this gives you some thoughts on how to approach this never ending LS.

Hi Hanny, its hard isnt it?
Hard to remember what to eat and what not to eat, when to apply the cream, and when not to apply. When to use the dilator and how often. Which oils to use and when to rotate them. Its a real slog to keep at it and as you say if you go off the rails once its okay but anymore than once you pay a price.
I'm trying to use the dilators regularly but I hate using them. I realised that standing up is less painful than laying down on the bed. I think anyone reading this must remember to use their dilators if they are not having regular sex like me.
What I don't like is that my Vjay looks like a child's now...its weird how that gradually happens.
Hope your symptoms are soon under control.

Hard indeed, Guppy. Sometimes you want to throw your diligent regular system up in the air and forget about it. But LS lets you know almost immediately that that is not such a good idea.
Now recovering from some kind of growth, though innocent according to my excellent gyno. I have been biking regularly, with special saddle. Went very well. But the last time I noticed discomfort. The 'knobble' is already shrinking, thanks to the baking soda, but gave a good scare. Which brought me straight back to reality: regular treatment is a must. I'm feeling a little bit more motivated at present.

I am another user of Borax and oils! Please give it a try as Hanny described, all my symptoms cleared up upon using! As soon as I sense anything "down there", I whip out the Borax and get back on the program. May God guide you and bring relief!
