I am new to this community, so forgive me if this has been asked by someone else previously. I was diagnosed about 20 yrs ago and at that time they were treating with testosterone. Later I was prescribed Clobetasol and used faithfully everyday. My gynecologist sadly retired and no one else in his practice really knew anything about LS. Soooo, I'm looking for a new doctor. I think I might prefer a woman this time, but am not opposed to a male. I live in the Charlotte/Harrisburg/Concord area of North Carolina. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
HI there Jody! I live just "down the road" form you in Asheville-Hendersonville area. I just put the phrase into google, gynecologist charlotte nc lichen sclerosus, and came up with a quie a few websites that list lichen sclerosus. Give that a try .
Welcome to our forum and do let us know how you are getting on. I 72 and only 8 months ago was diagnosed with it; I've been researching a whole lot about the nutrition deficiency aspects of LS and other autoimmune diseases. What have you found helpful over the years?
Thanks Nancy, I'll try that. Even though I've had this condition for years, until reading these posts I never knew about how nutrition can play a part in the flare ups. Glad I've found this community. I will do more research on that aspect.
