There seems to be no answer

I have had a burning sensation in the cheeks of my buttocks and vulva on reading other posts it seems there is no cure. I started to feel like this after having shingles but don't know if there is a connection . Doctor keeps giving dermovate to try and elevate the problem until I get the hospital appointment which I have been told could be upto twelve weeks away. Really getting me down and my family really don't u derstand what I am going through don't know where to turn.

Hi, I have been using Dermovate for six weeks , it is helping but my bottom especially my cheeks are really sore. The doctor gave me an anti fungal cream, I am also using a cream called Calendula, as well, it s a nappy cream and it's so soothing. I am afraid it is trial and error. I hope everything goes okay x

Hi try sudacrem baby nappy rash cream that helps 

At first learning about having LS is hard.  It affects a person not only physically but often even more mentally.  And it is not an illness one soon talks about openly to others.  It is furthermore not a very well known disease either.  People won't understand what you are talking about. 

​I'm very happy with being able to express concern and find good tips and support on this forum. 

​At first you might find dermovate to help you.  But for long term I would suggest you read for instance the discussion on "An Experiment with Borax".  It takes a while before you find what is helping you. 

​I'm helped most with baking soda baths and rinses, later borax baths and rinses.  Added sugar is a sure trigger for me, so I stay away from sweets.  And I try to stay away from stress as much as possible. 

​I hope you find the time to read through some of the discussions.
