lichen Sclerosus
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hello
I am feeling desparate now. I am on the steroid cream which doesn't seem to work. Every time I have food with any sugar in it, being added or even fruit, it flares it up ridiculously. I have huge white patches on my vagina and am losing weight every day.
I don't know what to eat and what not to! I had a biopsy and the hospital are slow in giving results but they think its LS. Quite frankly this is making me so ill. I am stress from my son who is going through a GF breakup and I can't seem to help him. I can't help myself. My appetite has gone and I am now worried that I might get too skinny. More than that, my LS is painful, and nothing seems to work. What can I eat that won't flare it up worse?
I can't seem to get any help. Does anyone have any suggessions?
Any help would be appreciated.

It is not easy to live with LS, especially in the beginning. The steroid cream will help you, but not in a few days or weeks. We're talking months. And be careful not to use too much of it either. More is not better.
Try to learn as much as possible from this site. It will help you to feel more confident in how to look after this condition.
Furthermore: My experience is that diet will only show a difference after a long period of time. I'm talking months to a year.
Try some of the household methods for further care, like baking soda baths and rinses.
Wishing you well.

But I didn't figure out my dietary needs by myself. I had the help of an integrated practitioner who is both a GP and homeopath. A naturopath would be able to help you too.

Later both my doctors, GP and nature path answered my question as to why baking soda 'works'. Neither of them however had made a link to Lichen Planus and Lichen Sclerosis. If you look further into this you will find info on making your whole body/system stronger against virussen and stuff like the Lichens.

I haven't heard of coconut oil 'pulling'. Does that mean applying it to the LS area on a regular basis?

For the Lichen Sclerosus down below I apply a small amount of coconut oil after every bathroom rinse.
