I have found help for LS

I had a biopsy last year and was diagnosed with LS. It has been a year of trying many, many different things to keep this disease from progressing and giving me relief. I too was prescribed Clobetasol. I have found that that made the symptoms much worse. I have tried vegetable oil, hydrocotizone for the itching, and believe me when I tell you that the symptoms were only better for a very short time. I was also prescribed an estrogen insert twice a week. Here is what I have found to work. I am using the emuoil, Banish my Pain, Soothe my skin, and a spray called helichrysum hydrosol. I used the emu soap also. I do this twice a day, when I shower in the morning and before bed. This has been my saving grace so far.

    great to hear you have found relief . very happy to hear what has worked for you. and the spray is made from dried flowers. Like the essential oil, the helichrysum flower possesses anti-inflammatory properties that are helpful with the healing of wounds, scars, and acne.

    sharing this info is important. thank you.
