Is it possible I have LS? And if I do, should I be worried?
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi,
so a few days ago i looked at my clitoris for the first time in ages and i do have a little whitish skin on either side and instantly panicked. i googled and google gave me the worst case scenario which was obviously vulva cancer, i have health anxiety and have been sexually assaulted in the past, so im sure you can imagine ive been a mess and its impossible to get to the doctors.
not itchy at all, my clit does sometimes get a sore and i have previously had a bump on there (wasnt STD related, apparently was trauma that went away) however it doesnt affect mine and my partners sex life.
i am just super scared as i have read so many horror stories about LS and the possibility of losing your clitoris and getting VC, its driving me insane panicking im literally making myself sick with worry:'(
docs have said they dont believe it is either, as i am too young to have VC (im 21) and it is rare for LS to lead to it, as it is rare anyway
but i just want to enjoy sex now that i am in a relationship that is safe and allows me to do so
sorry for the super long message, i really need some help:( picture will be posted in the comment, please offer help and support x

FIRST of all - calm down and breath...u do NOT know IF u even have LS...could surely be one of many things...SECOND - should u see a doctor and "yes" it is LS - does not mean its a death sentence....(or "C.)...I was told 3 years ago I have it...have been on a steroid and hormone cream (I am 68)...in just a few weeks of going on med's (which I was told I would be on for the rest of my life - no big deal - at least not to me IF it can prevent anything worse from happening)...my symptoms r under control and most of the time (an occasional flare up) I am fine...this platform is just wonderful - women from all over the world have some great suggestions and will help u "find your way"....most important is to find a doctor and see what he has to say...best of luck to u... (and breath - breath - breath)
