Patchy White Spot
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hello ladies, I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this. I have been dealing with LS for the past 5 years. I have pretty gotten the flare-up under control, however; I do not see any improvement in the white patchy areas. I currently use Clob ointment and it has done wonders for decreasing the flare-ups and instantly stops them at the first onset of one. I also use coconut oil on some days just to keep the area moisturized. I was hoping that anyone has been successful at regaining their normal skin color and how long it took for the white patchy areas to regain it's normal color.

However, I have itching almost every day. So visibly, my skin looks pretty good now but I have problems with itching. We all respond differently. I do use emuaid also and feel that it makes a big difference for me. Also use olive oil, emu oil etc.

I had a biopsy last Thursday and they think I might have LS. However I am still waiting on my results. I have been dealing with itching for a little over a year now and some soreness when there is a bad flare up just on my left side. I think I have had enough time to accept that the results will likely come back positive but iv researched a lot of remedies to ease the discomfort. I really like tea tree combined with coconut and lavender oil. I have also recently discovered terrasil which a lot of people with LS have had positive feedback about. All natural ingredients such as jojoba oil, beeswax, bentonite clay, peppermint oil, tea tree oil and sage oil. These have both helped me. Question for you about the steroid cream, is this what the doctors prescribed you? Iv read that some women have had bad experiences with the steroid cream making their skin thinner. Also, do you know any knowledge of the white skin improving? I really hope it can get back to normal down there as the discoloration is not very appealing. Thanks!

Can you please share with me how long did you use the steroid cream before the white patches disappeared?
And currently do you still using steroid as a maintenance ? What are you using ?
Thank you so much,

Does the baking soda help regain color back in the skin?

The clobetasol really needs to be used for maintenance as well as flare-ups in order for it to help restore natural color and texture. I would also not just use oil on some days, but every day, and more than just once. I have had the best success with clobetasol 3 days a week and pure emu oil every day in the morning and evening (and sometimes in between if I'm having discomfort). I have actually experienced the restoration of color and elasticicity, but it does take time and very consistent treatment.

I really want to know usually how long would it takes for the Clob to make the white patches fade or disappear ?
My wife has been using Clob for 3 weeks but no change to the white patches yet.
Please anyone can give us some idea.
Thank you,
Phong

Everyone is different, but it can take a couple of months before you see any visible physical changes, especially if it has gone untreated for a long time. Some women can get disheartened and stop using the clob, thinking it's not helping, but really you just have to be patient. She should have a follow-up with her doctor after around 3 months to see if there has been any improvement.

My wife have been using Clob for more than 2 months. The itching gone within days but the white patches still there after 2 months.
Can I ask how long would it usually take for the white patches to disappear?
Can you guys please share your experience ?
Thank you
