I’m just waiting for biopsy to confirm LS but I’ve been experiencing itchy prickly skin all over my body..no rash or spots..anyone else have this with LS or could it be menopausal?

    Hi Debbie, I have LS on my body but it's a whiteish colour almost paper like! I got it on my wrists, bend in arm under my breasts and at the end of my back. The first outbreak looked like ringworm. I'm also in menopause. I put a lot of symptoms down to menopause 🙄.

    Hi. I had a few random itchy spots on my forearm, elbow, right shin and at the nape of my neck. I went to a dermatologist who observed them quickly and surmised them as eczema. She prescribed the clob ointment, told me to use it twice daily for a month. The spots were gone after 3-4 applications.

    Hi Debbie,

    I too have had various itchy patches.  I have learned that as soon as they start, I should apply a small amount of mometasone (steroid cream prescribed by my dermatologist) which usually gets on top of the problem within 24 hours.  This doesn't apply to my scalp though!  Just have to put up with this and watch the hair fall.
