LS or something else ??

Posted , 2 users are following.

intense vaginal itching that seems to happen every 4 days like clock work.

i have a rash on my vulva, UTI symptoms that come and go (frequent urination, burning in urethra prior to urinating but no pain during)

Mid cycle i had watery bubbly foamy clear discharge and intense itching sensation -- i went to wipe and saw blood on the tissue and noticed a paper like cut below my clitoris. Few hours later i saw 2 more cuts in the same area. Initially I thought I scratched myself -- but given other symptoms i experienced (rectal itching, haemmorhiods, fissuring around anus, back pain, swollen lymphs) i freaked out and thought it was herpes. I have been to the doctor twice - two sets of swabs, two blood tests, allergy testing ---- everything comes back negative (6 months after symptoms / 1 yr since sexual contact) My doctor thinks LS and sent me on my way. Do these symptoms sound right??? I dont see any whiteness of skin , but vaginal openning looks swollen ?

itch gets worse when I wipe / touch it

Any suggestions for relief? THANK YOU!!

    Honey,

    You can have LS with a wide variety of symptoms. I feel bad for you with the things you mentioned. Have you tried olive oil or coconut oil for moisturizing or soothing? Since the itch worsens upon touch, I do think that indicates LS and I would find another dr that will do a biopsy. I had one and, while not "fun," it certainly wasn't as bad as several other things... Do get checked so that you can begin to heal. Best wishes

      thanks for your reply -- ive tried coconut oil but it only made things worse.

      on the plus side ive made some progress-- maybe ?? i developed more symptoms. rash other areas of my body, and the same itch sensation landed in my nose (it went fire engine red and was swollen) went back to my doctor who took one quick look -- confirmed one more time its not an STD (herpes), she is convinced i have an autoimmune disorder thats causing me grief. I have an appt with an internal medicine specialist next week!! hoping for answers for relief and to share with others who might be going through this too!!!
