Treatment with oral Estrace and topical testosterone

No, I have not followed that protocol. I use Advantan fatty ointment and Dermeze for moisturising. Are you seeing a doctor who specialises in LS? I attend a clinic at Mercy Hospital dedicated to this problem. I think you need something like my ointment to actually address the LS. Where are you? I am in Australia.

Your regime was one I encountered on an old research site. Have a look at the dr. Gold steins webinar screen shoot the slides print them off and ask your medic what his / her thoughts are about the current modern regime. You actually need a potent steroid to help with resucing the scar tissue that have formed  from your severe inflammatory episodes. Jeep moisturised. You don't say your age group, there are differnces with the possible options available. Oestrogen topically is often given for low levels that cause vulval dryness after menopause, but is normally. Unnecessary when HRT is prescribed.. Testosterone is not normally used these days, perhaps you need a combined HRT regime. 

Do look at the various threads to find what most people find of help. 

Basically keep the area clean protected from body fluids and cool 

DO NOT SCRATCH you will prolong the flare up and make it MUCH worse. When really hot and unbearable crushed ice in a plastic bag wrapped in a damp cloth may help, some people found sleeping with a pillow between the legs to allow air flow. Cool the area with a cool setting on a hairdryer Look at  Hanny's protocol ...it worked for her

keep all body fluids including sperm off the area, protect with a barrier cream

take heart it will get better, get yourself informed and take that information to your medic and ask for a change in treatment-or. 2nd opinion!

good luck Sue

I meant to say I saw this old research which was about 15+years ago, and came out as of no therapeutic benefit to the patients

Yes!  Thank goodness someone else mentioned Testosterone.  The ointment we normally are prescribed has cortizone, it thins the skin, the testosterone will make the skin thicker and less likely to break or split.  With a flare up of itching I just use plain old calamine lotion that we used on out kids when they had chickhen pox.  Boy...that was a while ago.

Hope the itching stops.
