Strange cause for celebration
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi everyone! Strangely, I feel like celebrating because, having been told that my 4 biopsies over 5 years all were negative for Lichen Sclerosus, I have at last had the condition confirmed by a gynaecologist who seems to know what he is talking about without a further biopsy (which I would have refused). It may seem strange to celebrate, but at least now I am not being shown the door by the medical profession, because nobody could understand what I needed and I feel that somebody with an understanding of what is going on is keeping an eye on things. Once again I feel like a fully paid up member of this forum - hello! :-)

Indeed a strange celebration. But at least now you know what to do and how to battle LS. Plus doctors will be willing to keep a watchful eye on the progress.
I hope that with treatment you will at least put a halt to the progressing of your LS.
Wishing you well!

Maybe you should see a dermatologist. I stopped going many years ago because all they gave me was cortisone cream. Psoriasis clears when it's good and ready and leaves no scars. LS is very different, because every flare-up can cause more disfigurement. So, I've accepted I need to use the Dermovate forever. It needs to thin the LS area (it's thickened with dead cells and the inflammatory cells are down deep), so all we have to do is keep it off the healthy surrounding skin. I'm not at all concerned about side effects. I've had none from big jars of cortisone over many years, so I certainly don't expect any from 50 g. a year of clobetasol.

You'll get more answers online than a gynae will ever have time for anyway.
India sounds exotic!
