I wanted to join the women's group for lichen s. Not sure I am in it or not but hope so.

All I read on it say I should have white patches and itch - neither of which is happening but I do feel burning and soreness.  A coloscopy is planned in July so maybe that will diagnose what it is more accurately. Or does it sometimes occur without actual itching?

    I am a new member here but I have had ls for over 20 yrs. At first I did not have the usual white patches just tearing and inflammation. I had been in remission for some time but as menopause draws near I am starting to have flare-ups again. I read about a new treatment in the us called the o shot that underwent clinical trials for ls. Anyone else heard of it?

      I've just googled it and it looks interesting, and if I've read correctly the person who overseas the LS site has had it done in the uk with a 80/90 per cent improvement. I think I will go back on the LS webpage and see if anything is on there
