I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus a few months ago and the clobetasol and tacrolimus regimen has been going great, but suddenly my itching has started to increase again and i’ve been getting this weird white glue like substance on my labia minora that’s been EXTREMELY hard to remove along with the weird white pattern on the labia majora. i’m talking i have to sit in warm bath for over 30 minutes and then i can finally remove it with a lubricated q tip but then it’s still a little difficult, and the other day i took a bath it didn’t soften at all (the second picture). i’ve called my doctors over a week ago with no answer, and will be calling again today. is this just regular smegma that’s impossible to remove for no reason? i just don’t know why it would suddenly be collecting there. is this my labia minora trying to fuse to the majora? is this just lichen sclerosus flaring?? like i’m honestly so confused, i see a pelvic floor therapist and she wasn’t really sure what it was either since it was so difficult to remove. i just don’t know why it wouldn’t be coming off the labia minora. has anyone has anything similar?

the buildup has no smell, and when removed the skin underneath kinda looks fresh, like bright red. sorry this is extremely hard to explain and i’m just wondering if anyone has had anything look remotely similar to this.

(i will not be entertaining my dms so do not even try it)

was diagnosed around a month or two ago i need some recommendations for underwear brands, preferably 100 percent cotton or any other 100 percent organic lichen sclerosus safe underwear. i’m currently using oddobody and just recently got it but it still doesn’t feel 100 percent enough, it’s definitely so much better but it’s not exactly what i’m looking for!

also in need of some body washes recommendations and shampoo and conditioner recommendations. i’m getting so much better but i just feel like i’m probably still doing something wrong. also how do you vulva havers prevent the body wash from spreading down there when you wash, i feel like that’s such a big problem for me. any ideas helpful:)

(also not really sure what flair to put on this one, sorryy)
