LS?

Can itching be the only sign of LS? I don't have any white patches, tearing etc. My dermatologist thinks it's because of the fact that my yeast infection lasted almost 4-5 months that I still feel itchy.

    Hi Crazyitch,

    I think my first flare up was "Itching Only," not sure if that's the beginning of LS or not. Maybe other women on this forum will reply with their experiences of LS first staring with them. Have you tried using Coconut Oil after going to the bathroom? I wonder if that would help?

      Hi Crazyitch,

      Yes, it was! It was so bad I had a hard time no scratching the area.

      Okay. Mine doesn't itch all day and even when it does I can resist scratching it. So, my doctor thinks it's just some dryness from the repeated YI.

      Hi! I hope it is for your sake! I've had good luck with applying coconut oil at least 3 times a day, it's good for dryness, hope it helps!
