Perineum LS
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi has anyone just had LS in the perineum area. Mine seems to be just in this area and slightly up one side on inner labia minora. I have a small paper like cut there as well that doesn't seem to get better. I am a bit scared to keep applying steroid as the area seems to be thinning out. If it thins out too much will it split and get worse?
Any advice would be appreciated as I am very new to LS. Thanks

Try soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salts every evening before you apply the steroid. Also alternate days with steroid one day and a healing salve the other. I use a hemp salve From Fey Farms. A lot of ladies on the message board suggest Palidin diaper cream and also organic coconut oil.
When I had my first big flare up I was soaking in Epsom salts two or three times a day. That with the hemp salve and coconut oil. Also I started on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol diet. AIP diet removes all foods that might be a trigger for an autoimmune condition. You stay on it for up to six months to allow your body to heal and then you slowly reintroduce banned foods one by one which is where you discover which foods you can or can't eat. Look for information on the Internet.

At any rate, this is one nasty disease with varied symptoms and presentations. It fluctuates constantly for me. One day, very few symptoms. Next day, burning and itching.
I find it way too consuming. My mood fluctuates also. Acceptance, frustration, sadness, anxiety, surrender, confusion...Oh for that cure!

My understanding is that some women have a year or two with no flareups. That would be wonderful but again maybe that doesn't mean symptom free, just not the crazy extreme symptoms???

(We all like dream) he did say only use small amounts of steriod
ointment which is better than a cream.
l agree about mood swings and the rest of it so depressing there is no cure, we just controll it hopefully
