Lichen Schlerosus and boils
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, About twenty years ago I had a problem with small pea shaped boils popping up inside my labia. The doctors didnt know what to make of it, and in the end I was diagnosed with Folliculitis and given a ten day course of antibiotics....they cleared up, and I thought nothing more of it.
Through my recent research on L Schlerosus I have come across some articles mentioning boils, and I wondered does any one know are these two in fact definitely related? could it be that I never had Folliculitis and that the boils are in fact a symptom of Lichen Schlerosus.
I have had them since back then, but very rarely, and all those years ago I definitely didnt have the tell tale signs of L Schlerosus, but I am wondering if I have always had LS, and it was there, just dormant...thoughts would be appreciated.

Have you had you urine tested for sugar levels - sometimes with recurrent boils there is a raised level in the urnine and blood
Ask you GP for an appointment with a specialist and perhaps they may decide you need a biopsy
What symptoms do you have now?
