Thank you for you time. I have had a spot in my vulva for quite a while that get itchy from time to time. I'm post menapause. I have gone to several GP's who just gave me creams and sent me off. I believe the cream thinned the skin. Also developed discharge and dryness which they told me was normal for my age.

After a while I asked if I could go and see a gynae. I finally went to be told I have vulva thrush. 6 weeks of taking antifungal tablets and the thrush was gone. Mind you all my swabs were coming back normal. She told me everything looked fine so I went on my merry way. Until I tryed to have sex with my husband and it split.rang the gynae and was asked to go and see her.

The day come and she used a a it spray to see if the where any abnormal changes. Thank got none. She noticed a band on the fourchette ( entrance ) which was tight.

She told me that I don't have obvious changes for LS at this time but because it can change over time there is a possibility that it could be the early signs. It could also be VA . I walked out of there not knowing what I have to do . Went to my doctor and she said the same. I don't know if I should go to a dermatologist or I have an appointment in February at a female hospital and check with them. Those this turn to cancer? Please her anyone very worried .

      Don't really know. Well she was very nice. She doesn't think it's LS. She said it does look like it. The band is normal anatomy. It's thigh because of menapause and the fact that I don't have sex offen. I explained that it hurts she said but the more you do it the area get moist. She thought it was eczema and that was what it looked like. I gave her a copy of the gynae letter and she said that she only says that it's possible it could be but doesn't show any signs.

      I need to stop stressing and just not worry about it. She said to keep my appointment with my gynae unless I want to see her.
