Hey all,

I'll try to keep it short 😃

*I have Lichen Sclerosus since I was a little girl, and been diagnosed with a biopsy in 2011 at age 19.

*Since then I had used the standard topical steroids cream/ointment + pelvic floor physical therapy (when I had the mental patience for practicing at home...).

*The steroids attracted HPV and yeast infections constantly.

*A year ago I pressured my gynecologist to stop the steroids and find a different treatment.

READ THIS:

Since last October (a year now) I've been using a special compound of:

Traumeel in Petrolatum 10%

My gynecologist prescribes it to a pharmacy in Philadelphia that compounds it especially for me.

What is Traumeel exactly?

I'm not exactly sure. Some kind of anti-inflammatory. A fixed combination of diluted plant and mineral extracts. Petrolatum is just the "carrier" and it's basically what we call Vaseline.

There is a shelf product called Traumeel that is used mainly for muscle pain - my gynecologist had advised me not to use it. He only experimented with the special compound and never tried the shelf product. But in general - he doesn't like shelf medications.

*Moreover, I use Coconut oil twice a day.

*The Traumeel compound + coconut oil twice a day + pelvic floor physical therapy once in a while =

  • I am currently in full control over my LS. It is the best it has ever been in my entire life!!
  • The HPV is Gone!
  • The yeast infections are Gone!

Is there anyone here that has the same experience?

Kisses,

    I've heard of Traumeel before. My Chinese accupuncturist had me take it for a while for sciatic pain along with cupping and accupuncture. I am sooooo gonna ask my doc for it!

      Amazing! Were you using the shelf product? I recommend getting a compound like my doctor prescribes for me. Just because the Vagina's tissue is more sensitive than the rest of our skin. Good luck!! keep me posted on how it goes!!

      So I ordered Amazons version of Traumeel since my gyn is closed fridays, and of course weekends, AND Labor Day

      and I wouldn't be getting anything compounded for days.... and then realized my Amazon order was NOT coming next day at all! (Like it usually does) but in FOUR days!

      Then it occurred to me that I had a prescription medicine in the cabinet for my frequent mouth ulcers. Well, I figured why not try some of that stuff that pretty much heals the canker sore with one dose. I put a small dab on the actual open raw spot. It worked! The horrible pain and itching from it is GONE.

      It comes in a tiny tube, cost $5, called "Kenalog in orabase." (It's an Rx, and my dentist prescribes to me- but any doc can.)

      I'm going to tell my doctor about this incredible discovery I made and hope he can help others with it.

      Oh, and P.S. I'm absolutely sure the compunded Traumeel is wayyyy better than OTC.

      My accupuncturist only carried the OTC.

    Hi DO! I would love to know the name/number of your pharmacy in PA. I am in Vermont and my doctor tried to call this in to our local compounding pharmacy and they said they couldn't do it for some reason. I am trying other more local places but would love to have the name of yours as a back up. Do you think they would ship to Vermont? This sounds so promising, I hope it works for me. I am currently having a flare up and the Clob isn't working this time. Am now trying cannabis coconut oil (my own home grown) as I saw some other posts about that but really want to try to Traumeel. Thanks so much!
