I think I might have lichen sclerosus

Posted , 4 users are following.

I'm afraid I might have lichen sclerosus. I went to see my gynecologist but was seen by the nurse practitioner. She examined me and diagnosed me with a yeast infection because I don't have any cuts or tears. Is it possible to have this white streaking and it just be normal skin/vestibule coloring?

    I have LS and I also have this as well. my clitoral hood is fused and I have this right under that area (the same white streak). I would get flare ups there like buzzing, stinging or needle like sensation. I hope your able to get a second opinion as well. Do you have any other symptoms? fusing of the labias, fused clitoral hood and etc.

      Not yet. I havent really had any help and I can feel it all over my body. I had a baby 4 months ago and have been having health issues since i had her. I found a spot towards the opening of my vagina and its already looking red and raw. Im afraid I might have Lichen planus all taking over my body. I have a biopsy scheduled for next week.
