Hi guys,

I would just like to know whether anyone knows of anything that would help my uneven skin texture?

I have wrinkle like raised marks from where the scars have been from LS leading to the texture of the skin being very much damaged.

My itching is very much under control and has been for a few months now which I am happy about. Any tips on how to help scarring would be great!

Thanks

      Hi Jessica

      My Dr. prescribes Clobetasol Ointment which is a steroid, but it has worked for me 100% of the time. Not everyone lIke's or can use it but it does the job for me. I have had LS for 20 years & have quite a bit of damage to my vulva area as the disease has progressed.

    I would try coconut oil. But it doesn't work for everyone

    Has anyone ever tried bio oil for any aspect of their LS? It is the mention of scarring here that gave me the association.
