Have you heard of LICHEN sclerosis?


Recommended Posts

My sister was just diagnosed with this. Symptoms are an extremely itchy rectal area. It made me start to think about my child....

Every time I up her magnesium or zinc, she suffers terribly in that same location. I am attributing it to yeast, but now I am wondering about what my sister was diagnoses with???

I meant to send this as a message but your box is full. Hi Trinity,
As I mentioned in one of my posts, I have a similar problem. I went to see my dermatologist and he suggested that LS is easy to diagnose and that I don't have it. I also have psoriasis but it, too, is not responsible for the itch. Dermatologist said that this is just an itch. For me, it gets worst after I take magnesium and zinc, just like your daughter. Dermatologist gave me cream, hydrocortionse1% and iodoguinol 1%. It seems to help.
I just wanted to let you know in case your daughter cannot see a dermatologist due to her other issues.
best wishes,
