Pain Management
Posted , 6 users are following.
I was recently diagnosed with Lichen sclerosis and had a really bad flare 3 weeks ago. It's better, but it burns terribly. What do you use for the burning. I used steroid cream twice a day for 2 weeks plus I took 40 mg of prednisone for 3 days. I'm down to using the steroid cream once a day and I use emu oil once a day as well. I also have tried vinegar bath soaks and borax/soda bath soaks. God do I get rid of the burning??

I hope you use the smallest amount of clobetasol.
?Emu oil should be comforting or perhaps try coconut oil or even aloe vera from the plant. I've used all three at various stages.
Especially in the beginning it is very trying and not exactly knowing what to do.
?I had to leave out all added sugar, alcohol, cheese from cow's milk, milk and gluten - perhaps it also helps to check your diet.
?And then there is stress, not so good either, but hard to not live with just a small amount of stress some days.
?Wear cotton underwear. Don't use any soaps.
?Enough rest/sleep has also been helpful to calm things down.
