Lichen sclerosus or atrophy ?

I think lichen sclerosis shows as a skin condition and vulva atrophy is a dryness. But not sure. My doctor was very readily able to tell me I did not have ls and that I had va.

The skin affected by lichen sclerosis is very pale and almost white.I now apply cream twice a week which controls it.Hope this helps.

I notice this is in 'menopause', well I don't know if it makes a difference but a family member has Lichen Sclerosis and she is nowhere near menopause, and has had it for a long time although was fairly recently properly diagnosed. She's in her 20s.

I have had lichen sclerosis for a number of years now. I have flares of it then it goes quiet. I was prescribed steroid cream for it but also find an aqueous cream works just as well. I have found GPs show little interest in this itchy burning condition. Ive never been examined for years to see if Ive got any concerns. I feel for some reason some GPs are reluctant to examine older women or maybe thats my prejudice but its also been my experience.

Have you ever been prescribed Vagirux? Has made a huge difference to me.

No

Might not be appropriate for you but may be worth asking your GP if it would benefit you.
