Fusing now
Posted , 10 users are following.
After two or three months of relatively calm LS symptoms, now a few days of sharper stinging at back of vaginal opening. Felt like maybe some sort of ulcer-as all raised area to the touch. On examining with light and magnifying mirror I was shocked to see obvious fusing taking place across perineal area just behind vaginal opening - sort of like a bridge of tissue across so that when wiping it catches. I will try to see gyno ASAP. but so discouraging as it has formed so quickly in spite of my steadfast adherence to the club and coconut oil routine, baking soda soaks and sprays.
thos is an insidious disease.

o remember one forum member here mentioning she had noticed that most LS sufferers developed some sort of 'ridge' or 'bridge' in the perineum-do you remember reading that? Wonder. If this is what she was speaking of. Thanks for your concern - very open to suggestions. Also very discouraged at this point. I know you have been there and others too.

Another suggestion, especially around the anus is spraying Witch hazel. Renee is using that and I have used something similar once when that area was troubling me.
Yet another thought - LS likes variety. What I do so now and then is using seasalt, epsom salt baths. It helps. And then I do bicarbonate/baking soda again. The seasalt,epsom salt combo makes it feel 'cleaned' of something. I have no explanation other than that LS likes variety.

I've started Advantan fatty ointment. I was on Diprosone OV before this daily for 2 months. Now my doctor wants me using the Advantan daily for a further 2 months before bed before seeing her again in June. It's been almost 4 weeks. I'm aware that Advantan is the next class down to the very potent steroids. How often do you use it and were you ever on the very potent steroids?

Morell - I believe I read a ways back that you are on a different ointment than clobetasol now? How are you doing on the new med?

I have asked her to have clob ointment rather than cream but was told cream is best. Many here think the ointment form is better.
Are you still using the Protopic?
