Living with autoimmune diseases and Lichen Sclerosis

Living with autoimmune diseases and Lichen Sclerosis Part 4

Jan 2023 I see the lady consultant for my Lichen Sclerosis, I’m given steroid cream, a thick cream when I’m not using the steriod cream when I’m itchy and a bath and soap lotion. I’m due a biopsy on Apr when I next see her, but she is certain this is Lichen Sclerosis

I go back in April to see her, the steroid cream has been helping, but I’d been away and had forgotten the steroid cream and it was itching and making me feel awful. I kept getting low fevers as well. She examines me and tells me the news I didn’t want to hear, I have a hooded clitoris which has been absorbed along with my my inside labia, they won’t come back. I can only keep using the steroid cream to stop it getting worse. I have to look out for lumps, and bleeding. The fissures ill always keep having. Sex will always be painful. Howver if I keep to the cream, it won’t get worse.
