Lichen Sclerosus :: Aloe Vera Gel On My Vulva Helped
I suffer from VLS and OLP.
After washing morning and night I use pure aloe vera gel on my vulva which may sting a little but really soothes. After half hour I use aqueous cream to moisturise.
When I have sore burning tongue or mouth ulcers I use pure aloe vera gel in my mouth. It really heals.
What about the emotional aspect associated with this disease. I find I suffer from lowered feelings as I feel unable to cope with the physical pain and daily maintenance. I have great difficulty accepting that my own body is attacking itself and I have no control over it.
I have great difficulty trying to sleep and am obsessed with the condition as the raw pain never eases and I know it will never get better. My dermatologist suggested anti-depressants but I disagree as my lowered feelings are caused by the presence of the disease and there is no cure for this. I read "the power of now" which helps me to live in the moment.
I would call on the women/men who have had this condition for numerous years to post and give those newly diagnosed some hope that there will be life after tomorrow.

I have been diagnosed with LS in February this year, although looking back now with more information at hand, I have been suffering from this for nearly five years, but had always been misdiagnosed. I cannot begin to mention all the vaginal creams and tablets that I have been prescribed.. all to no avail until the biopsies were done. I am now using Dermovate and was using it only when needed, until I watched Dr Goldstein's webinar a few days ago. I picked the link up from this forum. Since then I use it everyday, after soaking for 15 minutes in warm water and then rubbing in the ointment for 90 seconds. In May of this year I was also diagnosed with Lichen Planus. I follow the same procedure with the LP but I do not seem to have as much success here. Patches still coming out all over especially in groin, thighs right down to knees, underarms, under the girl, arms etc. Is there anyone who is using something other that Dermovate for LP and with what success rate? I see on this forum that numerous mention is made of coconut oil, witch hazel and aloe vera gel. I have managed to get hold of coconut oil and 97% aloe vera gel. Is the 97% good enough? In what form does the witch hazel come... is it an essential oil? I have looked around but have not found manuka honey yet. Does anyone in RSA know where I can find this? Then lastly, how do I use the above.. do I mix them all together and put on (how many times a day?) and what is it for? Does it help the itch, scarring, LS itself??? Quite new to this so not sure how to use these.

Lichen Sclerosus :: Clitoris Restoration?
I have questions about the clitoris being buried. My first LS breakout was about 7 months ago. Have had a couple less severe ones since. I've gotten tremendous relief and healing with the hydrogen peroxide/saline spray, and Caprylic MCT oil (derived from coconut oil) Didn't even know what the heck it was until I found this forum. Have not been to doctor but will make an appt. Noticing as I examine myself that area that my clitoris may be "disappearing" behind folds. I've been reading on this forum and wonder: does the steroid cream reverse the fusion a bit? Enough to free it again?
I had a friend who had a procedure to "free" her clitoris -- not an LS sufferer, but her architecture was such that it was covered up & couldn't climax with her husband all their married years. She finally did some research and found a doctor who specializes in this, and he said "you're 100% covered up". With a minor procedure, she is now normal down there and able to be satisfied with her partner.
I was just wondering if the steroid cream or perhaps this procedure could restore my clitoral area as well. It's been such a short time and my sex life was very satisfying just months ago! I'm 53, btw.

I have NO symptoms and I do know how lucky I am not to suffer the way most people do. My inner lips just turned white and despite diagnosis and being given Dermovate they completely disappeared in around 2 years. And now my clitoris is going too. No itching, no fusion or adhesion. It is horrific to have nothing I can do simply watch helplessly as it goes. Has anyone else experienced anything like me? I feel quite the freak and so alone.

View 2 RepliesUlcerative Colitis :: Thoughts On Aloe Vera Please?
I am 23 and was diagnosed with proctitis a month ago through a colonoscopy. I was prescribed 60 days worth of pentasa suppositories, and am halfway through my one a day dose. I don't seem to be making any improvement. Although my bleeding is somewhat better, I am definitely having more trouble with stomach cramps and needing to go more frequently. The pain arrives and is excruciating in seconds. If I can manage to let it pass, sometimes I need to go urgently again in a few minutes or I can be ok for a few hours.
Anyway the reason for my post is because I would like to know if anyone else has been prescribed the pentasa suppositories and how you found them? Should I persevere with them?
I also visited my local Holland & Barrett health store today and they advised me to buy an Aloe Vera gel/juice and to take 1 tbl spoon of this 3 times a day.. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share on this type of aloe Vera product?
