Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Sounds like it could be Lichen Sclerosus - have them do a biopsy to check... Sounds like my symptoms...

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi, I'm just wondering if you could summarize your symptoms a bit for me, and when they started, i'm still waiting for my appointment, and I don't want to stress about my stiuation, I just want to be prepared. What do you use to treat your symptoms? Is it helping? THank You, na Lohrenz wrote: Sounds like it could be Lichen Sclerosus - have them do a biopsy to check... Sounds like my symptoms...
