    Hi Monique 

    i am so sorry you are going through such a hard time .

    the nonstop burning is awful I know but I’m not sure what is going on with your colour and texture changes I can only suggest that you go see your gp and ask for a referral to a specialist who might actually understand what is happening.

    i know how scary it is and I hope that knowing you are not alone in this may be of some help to you.

    God bless you

    So sorry Monique.

    For the burning I find a gentle lubricant is Coconut Oil.

    I'm 37 and my parts are disappearing. It's aweful. I dont know about the other symptoms you have except the burning. Feels like my vagina is on fire a lot of the time.

    You have to see a dr., but not sure how helpful they are. Mine diagnosed me with yeast for 14 yrs straight...I believed him bc I never heard of LS and he was the Dr. Just thought I was extremely prone to yeast....Finally, I told him to test me for LS after my parts began disappearing. He never would have probably.

    This is very scary I know. I'm terrified too. Idk what to do.

      I think only a Dr. Can help.

      I'm not in any better condition. My vagina is on FIRE. It may be from the coconut oil I tried to use though I'm not sure. I soaked in the tub for like 40 minutes trying to get it off but I don't know if that worked.

      I have a UTI and bacterial vaginosis!

      I also have a healing biopsy spot....sigh....

      I have antibiotics and estrace cream...thats it...no clob perscribed to me yet.....

      I too had a punch biopsy and it took awhile to heal. I left underpants off until it healed.  I got very depressed too. It seems like it goes on forever, but I've been fortunate. Right now i am symptom free!  I use Clobetasol twice a week for maintenance,  Estrace cream which helps heal the vaginal skin, and I use warm baths with baking soda twice a day.  I too have had bacterial vaginosis. For that I use 2 cups apple cider vinegar in  moderately warm bath. But right now, if you are having LS symptoms... do NOT use the apple cider vinegar! It will burn too much. I am sure they want to get the infections under control before you use the Clobetasol.  Baking soda will not burn. It is very soothing.  Try that and nothing else until you get the infections under control.  I am here to talk to anytime... you can message me too. I remember how depressed I was when I had my symptoms!  You are not alone. smile

      You can also use ice packs. They really help with the burning.  I'll send you a link to a place with great pelvic support items. I can't post it here.

    Hi Monique, 

    ?I think you need to go to your GP, book for a lady if possible, they seem to understand a little better and explain what is happening.....go this week if you can, don't leave it. It really needs checking out. Hope you get on OK. xxx

    Hi Monique, how awful for you , I hope you get some help soon. Have you seen your GP, have you been referred? Check out  the BSVVD for lists of clinics/doctors etc. Private consults are not too expensive and you get seen pretty quick. Lots of info on here about how to sooth irritation. I just use coconut oil. All the best :-)

      All my comments seem to have been deleted. So I'm going to be looking for a different place. I think hard before I respond and if they are being deleted, then there's no point in responding. Take care everyone. Debi

      Ahhh. I have better luck on my computer. I still can't find where someone is responding to me. It says click on comment, but I don't see where the person is responding to me. I'll keep trying. It wish they would make it easier to find the comments directed to me. To each of us.  Thanks Maggie. smile

      It could be just a glitch. Keep trying. I was off the site for a while and when I came back, my comments were being monitored and I had to wait for them to appear. I kept trying and now it's ok.
