Does sitting makes things worse?

Hi Ann I too watch the video and it helped me to understand LS a lot better and I am doing as he says and it is really helping ,and using Emu oil  after going to the loo 

Hi Ann.  This is a repeat of the post I put below, as I didn't post it as a reply to you.  Thanks for replying.  So sorry to hear that you have major fusing and now concern over the sore.  Thank you for telling me about the Dr Goldstein video and I'm going to watch it this afternoon.  I, too, have been using the Clob about once a week, as advised by my GP, now that the overall inflammation has cleared, but there are still two inflamed areas remaining that have never cleared.  The dermatologist I am seeing is a specialist in vulvar problems, so I hope she will advise me further, but I think it will be a case of increasing the steroid, as you said.  It will be good to speak to somebody who really knows about it, as, although my GP was lovely and very concerned - he did the biopsy - he's obviously not going to know as much as a specialist.  

I do hope that your biopsy goes well and they are able to sort things out for you.  Thanks again and take care.

Had my results for biopsy, they want to do further investigation, rang the hospital and asked for someone who could ring me with more details, which a nurse did, she said I had cin3 and they would remove the affected spot, she said it wasn't cancer , they are pre cancerous cells which they will take out, she said she would send me leaflets explaining, I received them this morning, but on the leaflet it said VIN, So I think I have LS and I've had it for sometime, I have patch on my vulva which never goes properly away.

Hi Chinney it soundseems as if you and I have something similar. I have my biopsy in about 10 days, I was told that it was likely to be VIN which is a precancerous condition usually in older ladies which can be removed then followed up regularly. Not a nice prospect but I am trying not to worry, will try to take things as they come at least at 72 it is not the tragedy it would be for the much younger ladies. Goodles luck keep in touch.

I hope it all goes well for you, Chinney.  The good thing is that they've caught everything early.  Went for my dermatology appointment this morning and the clinic had been cancelled!  To be fair, they had been trying to get hold of me, but we had left the house before they had phoned the landline.  I hope I don't have to wait for another three months!

I hope the biopsy goes OK, Ann.  As you said, not a nice prospect, but it sounds as though things can be dealt with in a fairly straightforward way.  Best of luck.  Do let us know how you get on.

Just wanted to add my best wishes (how stupid is it that there is no 'edit' and please let us know how things for for you.

Hi Ann, thank you for your reply. I turned 60 this may. Please let me know how you get on, and I will do the same. Take care.

Chimney.

Thanks Chinney.

Hi Ann, I get open sores, I've been told I have vin3, I'm waiting to get appointment to see a different consultant who will remove the pre cancerous cells, I'm just using hydromel ointment as I have been prescribed anything else yet. Take care.

Good luck, I know it is a worry, but we can only go with the flow.

We can be grateful it is precancerous rather than cancer, we have

the chance to get it treated and hopefully keep it under control.

I have read the info on the Patient website but am not ready to join

a forum on that subject perhaps after treatment I might consider it.

Hi Chinney,had my biopsy yesterday it wasn't as bad as I expected

uncomfortable but not too bad. Only problem is that he didn't take

From the labia where the sore is but from just inside the vagina. I am

a bit worried in case he has tested the wrong area.

When I asked if there was anything I needed to do to help healingI was

just told "to keep it dry" how you are expected to manage that I can't

imagine!!!Have you heard anything more yet? I go back for results in

2 weeks.

Hi Ann, got an appointment 29th June, I use to have a bath daily, the vulva specialist told me water aggravates it, she told me just to get a tiny amount of water and spray it once, which I do and I use still mineral water , I have a strip wash from head to toe daily careful not to splash any water down there, so far its working, I put hydromel ointment morning and evening very sparingly , I now don't wear any knickers, let me know how you get on, and I will do the same. Take care x

Thanks Chinney, is your next move just a consultation?

Hi Ann, after getting my results from biopsy which said further investigation needed, its to see consultant about having the precancerous cells removed. Take care x

Hi Chinney, I have been worrying about how things are going for you.

I am fine, had my biopsy which came back as 'congestion' but he had

taken the biopsy from a different site to the place where the sore is.

I lost my earlier post before I had finished. Seen the GP today. and

am going to be using the strong steroid twice a day to see if that will

make a difference, Due to see the gyni again next month. Hope

things go a bit better then. It does seem that I have been lucky

and not got the Vin. but am hoping that the new steroid works.

It can't be normal to have an open sore for 7 months. I do hope

that things are going ok for you.
