Re: Re: vaginal dermotologist referral Boston or anywhere

Hi Melinda

I saw Dr today. The hydrocortisone was making my inflammatory vaginitis worse. I am taking a break, she reommended Zinc for inflammation. Have you tried that? I will probably try an anit inflammatory antibiotic next. Am debating about a second opinion with Libby or someone else, but also think this is trial and error now? Or maybe the hydrocortisone was just too strong? (5%) Have you had experience with any of these? Sharon

Re: vaginal dermotologist referral Boston or anywhere

Sharon,

The LS group is on yahoo, just like this one. It's lichen sclerosis and

related vulvar skin disorders (I actually have lichen planus, which is

more severe and very difficult to treat, and and her cronies

just cannot figure out how to get me under control). I am improved

since I was diagnosed but not to the degree I have hoped for, and not

because of . Everything that has helped, I have learned about on

here and begged them to Rx for me.

Just wondering if either of you have the skin issue on

your clitoris and if so, how did they know? Is it

visible or is it under the hood?

Thanks,
