Difference between LS and VIN

Hi mateface67...... what is VIN never heard of it until my GP gave me an Internal and was referred to gynaecologist, who in turn took biopsies, which resulted in having a Argon cauterisation of the vulva area, my advice get referred to a gynae, and the sooner the better. Don't delay this cos I think the longer its left the harder it is to deal with. Good luck.

Welcome to our rollercoaster ride! So sorry you have to join us here but you will find the ladies on this site are absolutely amazing and so full of knowledge, compassion and help. My first thoughts when I read your post is sometimes we don't know the difference ourselves what the difference looks like if they are lesions, white patches or fissures; it takes your gyne or gyne oncologist to do a colposcopy or biopsies if they are unsure.

Remember your clobetesol is a steroid and will thin your skin making it tear easily causing cuts, fissures and bleeding depending on where you are applying it. When in doubt, get it checked out.

Thanks for replying. Got an appointment for early July to see a dermatologist who specialises in vulval disease.
