if i was you i would go to my gun dr and see if you have ls as im 70 years old and i just got over this with steroids . But my sores were white with blisters i had a biopsy and they told me i did have this. For the itching you can use 1/2 cup of soda with a 1/2 cup of borax in warm water i use a sitz pan to soak in.

Hi, Nae.
Sadly, looks enough like it to me that I agree with Brenda. Get an appt with a GYN or a Dermatologist to have a look. If they suspect, ask for a biopsy.
meanwhile, try some olive oil or lanacaine to calm it down before your appt.

A&D is probably good. Anything that creates a barrier to keep the urine off your skin will help. I never used it, but many do. Many also like Aquaphor. I just used vaseline in the early days, but it was a bit messy.
GOOD LUCK!

seems better Nae...so continue moisterising and get it checked.... maybe its not LS....I HOPE. If it is you will get a cream for it and do as doctor says....and keep us in mind...we are here...LS makes your mind spin....so very important to keep in mind you will be fine. i get that its scary to look it up on Google..but in order to be controling LS...if it is.... you need to follow doc orders. check up with you soon. xx
