Hi, thank you texting back, what it is I had Vin last year , on 31st July I had the previous cancerous cells removed, saw my consultant for my 6 monthly check up in august, he said everything looked fine, but 2 days ago I got like a spot on my inner lip, it doesn’t feel itchy but everywhere else feels a bit sore, and I wondered could it be LS, Thank you for your time.
Hi chinney, to be honest you are going to need to see someone for a proper firm diagnosis, because although LS can be managed very well it can soon get out of control. Look for a Vulva specialist, they usually know their stuff and have seen LS many times. The soreness you describe could be LS, but the problem is that you arent showing the typical signs of LS which are the white plaques of skin and so you may need to have a biopsy done which many women have had.
