    I wonder if it's your clothes as well rubbing, maybe trousers with seams?  Not sure what you wear Lorraine.  You'll be more relaxed off work I bet too

    I always feel better if I have a moisturizer, Aquaphor, on vulva area, completely covered. Otherwise I feel dry and sore.

      I've noticed a difference since using Yes I'd never of thought to moisturise here before the L S.  I suppose it's still skin like we moisturise our face and hands.  It's just finding one that you get on with biggrin

      I was told by doctor that LS makes skin like a desert, dries, cracks, and if not controlled with steroids, the skin thickens and hardens. So far, so good for me. But it takes daily attention almost always on my mind.

      You must have Aquaphor wash, there is Aquaphor healing ointment. I found in baby section then ordered from Amazon. It's better than Vaseline. Yes I rub it in . During the day after I pee, I use wet washcloth gently to clean vulva area and let air dry or use hairdryer to make sure not wet area and then reapply the ointment. Sometimes I also rub in some vitamin E oil. I tried Emu oil also and don't really see any difference. Twice or three times a week at bedtime I use the Clobetasol. The vulva skin and for me extending to anus feels better when I keep up treatment. I also ordered dilators in Amazon and occasionally I use to make sure the skin around vagina keeps open and not tightened too much. Does that help you any? I hope so!! Take care!!
