Hello, only joined this group yesterday but I need help. Back in March I noticed my skin around my 'downstairs bits!' Had changed to a pale/grey colour! I went to my gp and she said that it looked like LS she prescribed me a steroid cream and referred me to a dermatologist. Last Friday I finally got to see her but because the cream was working and the colour had returned, I was showing no signs of LS! She told me to stop using the cream, which I did but within 2 days the itching feeling had returned and I'm now back using the cream!!! I was hoping they would do a biopsy so I could have a diagnosis! Instead it feels like I've just been left to deal with this by myself!! LS sounds scary!! Shall I keep using the cream? I need advice! Thank you!

    Clair, my GP searched for a specialist for me. I am in Lincolnshire but the nearest she could find was a vulval clinic in Sheffield. However she referred me and they took me on and I've felt well looked after
