new LS diagnosis

I was recently diagnosed with LS by a Gyn/Oncologist I saw for vulvar cancer. My Ob/Gyn had no idea what I had, said she had never seen anything like it. I have been doing some research, and actually found on this forum a suggestion of using olive oil. Well, I tried that and it was so messy! Then my friend said her gynecologist told her long ago she should use coconut oil to maintain healthy skin. I used it for less than a week, twice a day, and when I saw the oncologist for surgery, he was amazed at the difference. It not only eases the burning and itching, but actually brings the skin back to looking normal. I apply it in the morning, after all my morning constitutionals, and before I go to bed. Wash lightly to remove any urine and then apply the coconut oil liberally. I will continue my regiment and update with any changes, good or bad. Good luck, ladies, and thank you for all of your suggestions and comments. BTW, I wonder if yeast infections have anything to do with LS? When married to my first husband, I seemed to have one constantly. Back then, they didn't think to treat the man when the woman was being treated.
