Hi everyone I’m new here my name is vicky ,
Joined for advice and just worried.
i have this issue, darks spots patches all around inside the lips, I can see it's got worse over the last year
I had hpv abnormal few years back and biopsy, next screening I had I mentioned the marks but was very few then, they said oh probably from your biopsy
fast for ward to Friday 1st October I feel cobcerned I can see them they have worsened, I also past year keep get tears there, that can bleed small amount and take ages to heal, hurt when wipe.
I went doctor on Friday 1st saw nurse who said wasnt hemtoma, but instead said it was Pityriasis versicolor, I said in vagina have you heard of that before, she said never but can. Sent me of to buy fungal cream etc,
today 5/10 I have started study trial for pessary for BV. I decided to ask the doctor to look. She said yes I see it I'm sending you to specialist. Squeezed me in to full clinic on 14th October, my eyes are welling up, the feelings are just mixed. I said so is it not versicolor. She said no it wouldn't be etc,
mwntioned age spots but I'm 30 years old.
im really worried, sounds gross and strange but there's no pictures online that even help distinguish what I have so I am paniking,
mid any one going through same I would love to speak to you.
Hi Vickyj91,
A very warm welcome to the online community, although I’m sorry you find yourself here.
It sounds like a really worrying time for you, so I’m glad you have reached out for support.
I have had VIN3 (pre cancer of the vulva) and I’ve had vulval cancer, so if you have any questions I can help with then please do ask.
Hopefully the specialist will take a biopsy as this will confirm whether there is a problem and hopefully ease your mind.
I too found it difficult to find pictures of what mine looked like, I found that pictures were limited online and I assume that’s because of the sensitive area it is.
I would be very happy to talk some more and if you feel as though a chat with an adviser may help then you are always welcome to call the Macmillan support line on 0808 808 00 00. The lines are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week.
