Do antibiotics affect LS?
Posted , 6 users are following.
i was diagnosed with LS about 2-3 years ago, it took over 2years to get the correct diagnosis! Thought all was going we'll until check up last year. LS trying to closer over 'wee' bit (sorry can,t spell proper name). Have had a really stressful 2014 - and am now on 2nd course of antibiotics for infection after having a tooth extraction. Had a 'look' after my shower this morning, lots of white skin has appeared some on the inside of vagina. Have been use Dermovate and bathing in Bicarbonate of Soda baths before applying the Dermivate for at least the last town eek sis but it is getting worse. I wonder if the antibiotics could have made te LS flair up so badly? Needless to say I am pretty scared ................. again, by this horrible illness.

Like yourself I had the whiteness inside my vagina ( labia minora) and I treated it with the Clob cream, morning and night for just a week. I used half a pearl size of cream for in the morning and the same for in the evening. This cleared it up for me and I have never had to put cream there again, and I wouldn't really want to bearing in mind its such a delicate area. Any areas that are white outside of the vagina I would use a full pearl sized amount of cream for that. I don't think you need to panic, it should clear up pretty quickly and I think you should continue doing what your doing with the bic soda..I would buy a good probotic (I hope you took one when you were taking your antibiotics) if you Google probotic you should get lots of info..

We simply don't have an answer that will cure all. What works well for one may not work at all for another person. Overal, many seem to find comfort with baking soda and warm water rinsing and coconut oil application after bathroom visits. (Next to the globetasol or dermovate) Often it takes a longer period than expected to conquer the LS flare ups.
Avoiding foods like sugar and alcohol has been beneficial, so is avoiding unnecessary stress. Gluten free, dairy free diets are supportive over a long period of time.
I have overcome, but it took close to a year, from the confusing time when I was first diagnosed till today. It was no easy ride.
