Linchin Planus no relief

Sorry Linchen Planus that should say 

Try using Sudocrem down there. it works wonders for me, and I can go to the loo when I have a flare up without screaming with pain. X

I have the same disease and when I get a really bad flair up. I use Clobetasol Ointment. (not salve, not cream) Ointment. My OB/GYN told me to use it this way during the flair up.

Apply twice a day for 2 weeks.

Apply once a day for 2 weeks.

Apply every other day for 2 weeks.

Apply twice a week for several weeks.

It works for me very well. Just have to keep at it. If it hurts to go pee. Just keep a squirt bottle next to the toilet and spray water on the vulva while going to the bathroom. 

Good Luck! 

Hi Gillian, I know how you are feeling as I had this from end of June until last week.

the advise below about the ointment is very good. It really does work better than the cream. Try going without knickers whenever possible and do not wear trousers as it is so sore. Also try putting a little ice pack on the area when you can. It helps. Mine just 99.9% resolved when the weather cooled but I am still worried it may come back as I was crying with the awfulness of it. If you find anything else helpful please let me know.

good luck.

 

I tried lots of steroids for vlp clobetasone and mometasone were both too strong and stung like mad in the end I found best one was hydrocortisone 1% ointment my vlp was terribly painful as you say I lived in baggy joggers no pants !! It cleared up after 9 months and I've been free of it now over a year try different steroid xx

Hi Gillian

I have lichen Planus of the Vulva for three years. I have been using organic coconut oil down there first thing in the  morning & night time before I go to bed.

In order to wear pants I always put coconut oil then fold three soft napkins put between down there & my underwear then wear anything I like but make sure wash yourself whenever you go to bathroom. Try to take bottle 

Water with you to bathroom & wash yourself with that every time.

I got the organic coconut oil from Costco & it has been great for me. I hope that can help you as well. 

Please let me know how was for you?

If it was any help.

Good luck.

GILLIAN, my Dr. gave me a prescription for CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE, which is a steroid gel. The only thing is when you use it only 2twice a day or the Vulvar will thin out.  You know I have a Holistic practitioner who told me that LP is a fungal disease + puts me on, Candida Supplements if I have a terrible breakout. Also, I use a gel named SilverGel which is a made from Colloidal Silver it is so cooling + helps so much. The other gel above only used when you have a breakout.  So this is another way maybe to be able to keep this Monster away!
