Vulval cancer?? Freaking out
Posted , 11 users are following.
I saw a dermatologist almost a month ago, who said she didn't know if my white patches were LS and would need a biopsy, & said she'd refer me to a gynae.
I just had a phone call from the doctor to see if I'd got a gynae appointment yet (which I haven't). Apparently the dermatologist I saw thinks it could be early stages of vulval cancer. But didn't bother to tell me. Doctor is referring for an urgent appointment in next 2 weeks. I am FREAKING OUT!!!!
My symptoms are white patches on vulva & itching now and then. I thought it sounded like textbook LS but now I'm in a complete panic.
Any words of wisdom for me?

Try to keep calm. The doctor is more than likely just covering themselves as it definitely sounds like LS to me. I hope they have given you clob to try to help in the meantime or something similar.
I know it is is difficult but the likelihood of it being cancer is really very small indeed. It is less than 4%. It is very rare.
Treat yourself to something nice and try to relax.
Take care and let us know how you get on.
Regards.

CLOB is just another name for Dermovate. They are the same product.
yes this is not fair! But we have to deal with it! I have cut out most of sugar and that helps a bit. You have to try everything you can.

This disease has most of us freaking at some point but it just worsens symptoms. Try to do something relaxing and think positively
Is there a possibility she doesn't know much about LS and didn't recognize what she was looking at?

I don't think it would get rid of it since it's an auto immune condition.
