How often do you check with a mirror?

I was checking every day—day and night, then recently started letting a few days go by. I couldn't handle it anymore seeing the destruction, but I realize I need to monitor down under every day to see what course of treatment I should use. Welcome to my world and world of LS.

I check every day with a mirror. Every night when I put the Clobetasol on - I put a mirror on the floor - squat over it - and put the clobetasol on while I check it all out and make sure nothing else is fusing, etc... and it helps me see the progress I'm having with the clobetasol (white patches are going away...)

Hiya ro

i personally check maybe once a week or if i feel a little sore etc ive been diagnosed a year. I found if i pull it around etc it gets irritated . I try to switch off from it as it just takes over your life otherwise! hard to at times i agree. Recently back from holiday felt so relaxed didnt think about it much. Think the sea water helped too! Yes you have to keep on top of things with creams, supplements etc its routine. But try not to look everyday

Good luck

I used to check loads of times per day. I use the clob but dont look I look if I feel sore, My GP said check once a month and check breasts at the same time so you are doing it regularly. The breast part I do that then but have yo say I cant get out of checking down there more than not looking every two days. I go on holiday next week and I wont check though x

No more than once a week, sometimes less. Like everyone else, I don't want it to be constantly on my mind. I really have wanted to take pictures to document it, but I'm afraid they'll somehow get into the wrong hands....hahaha

Oh, that's a good idea. I still have a digital camera that I never use bc I always use my phone. I'll try that - thanks!
