Looking for some help and reassurance!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, I have been having some issues down below for probably right months now, and had thought I was experiencing reoccurring thrush as I am a diabetic, however when nothing was clearing it I went to the Drs and she looked and diagnosed lichen schlorosis. To be honest she didn't explain much, and actually just have me the information page from this site.
I am on dermovate and have been advised to use it once a day for four weeks. Three weeks on and the labia and clitoris are much less itchy and sore, but I am still very sensitive and tear all the time, just when cleaning myself or wiping. Will this also improve with dermovate?
I am also very concerned as the entrance to my vagina and my urethra are still very red and inflamed and at times painful, dermovate is not improving this at all. Does anyone know why? Or have any suggestions?
I've been reading the forums for a while, so have been using a bicarbonate of soda spray, had some in the bath and I'm using an emollient cream to wash.
I'm utterly miserable about this as we've also been trying to conceive and I just feel it's a problem I don't need will it get better??
Thanks for reading

It is very frustrating and I'm feeling very low. It's good to know others understand.

The bad news for a couple trying to conceive is that sex irritates flared LS, as you have probably figured out. And stress is our worst enemy, so if you're trying to have a baby and worrying that it's not happening, that's hot helping your undercarriage.
Three things definitely make it worse – soap and sugar a lot of sex. If you're watching your ovulation you can probably pinpoint the day.
Do watch Dr. Goldstein's presentation – maybe with your husband, so he can understand.

Good news – some women find the hormones of pregnancy put LS into remission.
