Please help with an advice

Hi everyone! I've been diagnosed with LS about 6 months ago and at the moment i'm feeling very low. I have been discharged by the gynocologist after using 3 different steroid creams starting with the strongest and whilst on the weakest cream my symptoms have returned and also spread on to anal area. I went to see the GP and they prescribed me betnovate. I started using it but now I don't know how safe it is to use as the skin around anal area ir raw and very sore.
I feel like I have not had a proper help from the doctors and I just don't know what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I am so sorry to hear that you are suffering with LS. I went to a Dermatologist who has been amazing and knows more about it than a GP.
She advised applying zinc cream Sudocream is the type I got in Australia and applying it to the raw areas to keep moisture away. She also said not to use any soap, sprays etc as this irritates the area
It is such a cycle as the steroid creams thin the skin and therefore it tears easier.
Wishing you well,

I personally had a bad reaction to the steroids and am not using them but since cutting sugar and using coconut oil on the area regularly have had hopeful relief. I also had extreme itching and take Benadryl at bedtime, when symptom can be worse.
