Vulva symptoms what could it be?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm new to hear so hope i am doing this right!
About 5 months ago I started with burning, itching, splitting of the skin and discharge for a couple of weeks. I had STI checks all negative. I put it down to thrush which i had never had before and got some over the counter treatment and with in a week it was cleared and had nothing since!
last week i noticed the same itching but very mild, yesterday i looked to see what was going on with a mirror and the skin is very red and split again (this time no discharge) after consulting doctor google i keep coming across lichen sclerosis! Its hard to tell with white patches as the skin just looks generally dry and i also have vitiligo!
If it was lichen sclerosis would symptoms of cleared up so quickly 5 months ago? i have read that LS can flare up but how long would it last and does that mean between flare ups are complete symptom free?

hi...I have never heard of a "CURE"....LS can be controlled through topical medications but NOT cured...r speaking of the Mona Lisa laser....if u r - again this will help to once again thicken the walls of the vagina but will not cure...women r put on hormone creams and steroids for "the rest of their lives" to ensure we r comfortable and not symptomatic....

Hello Ashley!
My first misdiagnosis was vitiligo.
attached is a pic of what my LS look like.
I wash with apple coder vinegar, pat dry and then lubricate it with Castor Oil. I've changed my eating habit and so far no brake outs.
i hope my pic did gross you out. Maybe after Corona you can see a Dermatologist.
Hope i was able to assist you. ✌

Hi MaWoods
when you got misdiagnosed with vitiligo did you have white patches anywhere else on your body?
Iv had my Vitiligo for 12 years and have it in many areas this is why its so hard to tell!

Hi - have you tried using Emuaid. It is costly but is the most amazing stuff - it mist certainly works. Thank goodness I found it.

No, only down there. One doctor said it was a bad case of yeast. Another was so afraid that after looking he wouldnt touch me. SMH! its an experience i wouldnt want any one to go thru.
Have blessed, safe Weekend
