Whilst my vulval area seems to be under control at the moment, I have just discovered with horror, white skin around my anus. Not an area I can easily see. I have started using steroid Betnovate there. Has anyone had success in getting rid of white skin in this area with steroids? I had thought I was doing well, so am really depressed to find this.

Thank you Dawn, that's encouraging and just what I need to hear....and what a kind supportive husband you have. I will have to enlist mine for check ups I think - something new to get used to!

Yes white areas that are itchy i also used Betnovate but i have moved to a cream called Synalar a steriod deriditive . This was because since diagnosis in April i have had lots of flare ups .
Laveder oil has been my saviour and bicarb.
Hope you feel better soon 🤗😘

Hi, I have made a potion of 10ml castor oil, 5 drops lavender essential oil, 5 drops frankincense essential oil. Its been a godsend to me. I had a large white patch from vulva to anus with a bleeding lesion. I have been using my potion for nearly two weeks now (I think) and am so happy to say that the lesion has healed, the white patch is a thin white line and I'm now pink again! I apply it morning and night

I had this same thing happen. That's a really sensitive area and can cause problems going to the bathroom. My cream took care of it but it seemed to take longer than the vulva area. I went a good while with it gone and now is back but to a smaller degree.

Hope that does the trick. It's kinda like once you have it there you'll always check now. Take care and I too appreciate comments cause it's easy to feel alone with this disease! Nice to get some answers from others in the same boat 😊

So sorry but you are not alone...
I use aloe baby wipes after every BM. If I still feel sore and itchy I keep a spray bottle of borax and lavender handy. Also make sure you find a good product to keep the area moisturized and protected. I have a couple different ointments that I like. My local grocery store has an all natural petroleum free ointment which consists of jojoba oil, coconut oil and olive oil. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the name so I'll leave it out for now. I also found another good one on amazon. It's an herbal healing salve with all kinds of good stuff. If your interested in knowing the names I think you can privately message me.
