Lichen Sclerosis Posted: 05-14-08 13:22pm


itching,small tears,white spots vaginal/anal I do not need any answers here. I am just trying to inform as many women as I can about Lichen Sclerosus. I have suffered for 15 years with these symptoms, and finally a doctor who took the time to biopsy my skin gave me the answer. Other doctors went as far as telling me I was just probably crazy. Anyway, Lichen Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the skin. It has nothing to do with STD's. It is lifelong, can not be cured, but it can be managed. The main treatment is Corbetasol. Personally, i have found betamethasone cream with canesten less intense. It is a very common major skin condition, but most doctors have never heard of it, unless they are top Gyn./Specialists. If you suspect you may have LS, please take the time to get a small biopsy of the area. Your vagina and mind will thank you! Oh, and spread the word, we need to have women stop this ridiculous disease in its track. Don't you if most men were suffering from this that they would figure out a cause, and a cure????????????
