I was diagnosed with lichen scherosis about 6 years ago.
It was managed well with steroid cream until 2017, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mine was hormone receptive so I'm on a hormone blocker. This has made my lichen scherosis so much worse, itching everyday, tears and sores on my vulval area. I have tried some natural creams but none seem to make a lot of difference.
I wondered if anyone has found anything that helps as the steroid cream just thins the skin and makes it more prone to tearing.
I have just been told by my gynecologist that there is a treatment, not on the NHS, where my blood will be taken, spun and the plasma injected into the area, it costs about £500, I'm thinking about trying it as laser treatment is even more expensive.
Hi Breast17,
Unfortunately I am unable to help, but I wanted to comment to bump your post back to the top in hope that someone with experience will see it.
It sounds like a difficult situation to be in and I hope you find something to help soon.
Take care,
