Has anyone been diagnosed with LS and not gotten it in the vagina area?

I have skin discoloration on my stomach, both inner thighs and I have this huge ugly looking sore on my groin area. My dermatologist did two biopsies and it came back as LS. At first she had diagnosed it as Morphea which looked more like what I had. But the lab results came back differently. Have you ever been misdiagnosed? In either one of these disorders do I see such a sore on anyone. So, I’m just wondering if anyone has gotten this in any other place besides a vagina/anal area.

    Hi, I get LS on my feet and head as well as the vulva. I've believe I had it on my wrists when I was very young. Literally just left the ENT's office where they told me I have it in my ear!

      Hello!!! Oh you poor thing!!! I didn't even think about it coming back once it heals!!! It was so painful on my groin area I can't imagine it on my feet or vulva!!!!! How do you live with that? How do you walk or even work?? My sore is about 60% better. It's not AS disgusting looking as it once was but it is still ugly and scabby!! When you first see the growth cant you put cream on it to stop it from getting worst? Sorry about your ear! 😦

      This is what the sore looks like now. Does it look like something you've had before?
