    I hv never used the steroid though I hv a tube of Clob if Dr thinks I need it. I used Emuaid Maxx for 10 days and then switched to Emuaid regular after that. All healed, no pain, no itch. Baking soda in bathub once a week, and  moistuirize with Medline soothe and cool Aloe Vera with Vit A, D, E or coconut oul ( all natural, refined) but gets drippy on contact, melts fast on warm parts🙄🙄

      So have you healed completely ? Or have you still got white patches ? I’m not sure what happens .

      All “ sores” I had are healed, no itch or pain. I have no white on outer labia, some white still in inner labia, but don’t feel like patches to my finger. I am tempted to try the Borax/ water paste on a cotton ball to bring the color back to pink.

      What about diet ? Have you changed it ? I live on my own and don’t have a partner , I’m worried if I meet anyone , about intimate relations , will I ever be able to have normal relationship again ? Sorry for being personal as I don’t know your circumstances.

      I have cut out sugar, reduced carbs, and following a low oxalate diet ( no whole grains, soy, nuts, seeds, dark leafy greens, chocolate). This was mentioned as helpful to LS and with a past history of 2 kidney stones ( calcium- oxalate based), it will help with that as well. I may try gluten- free as I hv noticed a little “ tingle”, not itch, after eating bread products. 

      11 weeks since my diagnosis, we have had successful ( no pain) penetrative intercourse. Both washed genital area with Cetaphil first, used v- magic for lube and it was good. Have not tried oral sex since diagnosis, I think I Freaked him out with too many details, but clitoris responds to manual stimulation even with some hooding. 

      I can tell my right labia ia 1/2 size of my left, don’t know if he would notice in the dark🙄🙄

      Been together 30 years, married 25 and he says he supports whatever I need.

      Thanks for your help Karen! I’ve done the same .. low oxalate diet , but am using steroid cream at the moment . Have an appt with skin specialist in 3 weeks time. If it doesn’t heal , I will try same as you . I’d rather use natural products if I can . I think it frightened me so did what dr told me . You are so lucky to have a husband that understands . I can’t imagine what I would say to someone if i got into a relationship. I don’t want to be on my own forever . Any new partner would run a mile I think if I told them , which I’m going to have to 😥 I can’t believe there isn’t a cure .
