Lichen Sclerosus Treatment

Hi all,

First, I want to apologize for the spelling mistakes because my native language is Spanish. I'm really surprised to have found at this page so many women who suffer from this disease. A month ago I was diagnosed with LS, after a long search trying to understand why my skin literally splited when having sex, making it of course impossible..in some way I'm relieve to finally know what I have, even though I am 26 years old. I read in some of the comments that many of you use testosterone and steroid creams when there are numerous research indicating that on the long term this can further damage the skin despite the fact that it calms the symptoms. In my country there are no doctors to treat the disease and the few who at least seemed to know about it told me that it had no cure and prescribe steroid cream. I've been doing an exhaustive research to try to find some useful treatment and I feel very hopeful about two treatments that I've found, one is stem cells and another is called Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, I know they are very expensive but also promise to be a significant solution for LS, unlike the usual treatments. I wish somebody please let me know if you have used one of these treatments and if it has been useful, it will cost me a lot to raise the money and travel to another country to try this treatment for myself, and after doing it If I dont get results I would feel worst than having ever tried.. maybe I just need to accept now that I will never get married or have a partner, It is so hard to understand why this happened to me and knowing what my life would be like in the future...

I appreciate your comments.

Bets Regards,

Carolina R.
