Lichen Sclerosus


(Canada)

Hi Nanette,

I was told by my doctor that I have Lichen Sclerosus. It is in the very early stages - white patches and no itching yet. She prescribed ratio-Clobetasol ( clobetasol 17- propionate). I do not want to take cortisone but with no other choice at the moment I have been applying it now for 5 weeks. I see some improvement but the ointment burns sometimes and I really do not want to continue until I get thinning of the skin.

I don't know if it is something else totally different but now for the past 3 weeks I feel nauseous on and off for most of the day. Not terribly sick but the feeling one gets just as they are starting to feel car sick. I also find I am experiencing some slight dizzy spells. I do not take any other medication, just supplements.

Thank you

Hello,

Fortunately, your Lichen Sclerosus is in the very early stages. For our website viewers, let me explain that Lichen sclerosus is a skin problem that causes thin, wrinkled white patches that are itchy and painful. If the skin tears, bright red or purple spots may appear. Genetics, autoimmune diseases, and changes in hormone levels may be part of the reason. It is not caused by an infection and is not contagious. Although anyone can get lichen sclerosus, women who have gone through menopause are more likely to get it. This skin problem can affect any part of the body but in most cases it occurs on the skin of the genital area.

Clobetasol is a topical (skin-applied) corticosteroid medication with a very large number of side effects that I feel strongly, those who use this steroid cream should absolutely BE MADE AWARE OF! They include all of the following possibilities (and yes, two of the side effects include nausea and dizziness!)
*burning, dryness, irritation, itching, or redness of skin *headache *increased redness or scaling of skin sores *skin color changes *skin infection *skin rash *softening and tearing of the skin *thinning of skin with easy bruising
*acne or oily skin *unusual tiredness, weakness or dizziness *lack of healing of skin condition
*numbness in fingers *nausea *painful, red, or itchy pus-containing blisters in hair follicles
*unusual increase in hair growth, especially on the face *unusual loss of hair, especially on the scalp *backache *blurring or loss of vision
*increased blood pressure *irregular heartbeat
*irregular menstrual periods *irritability
*loss of appetite *depression *rapid weight gain or loss *swelling of feet or lower legs
*unusual bruising

I have several natural recommendations which I list below. Know that the body has a remarkable ability to heal, repair and regenerate once given the proper tools to do so.

1) Wash the affected area with our FACE & BODY WASH which is a hypo-allergenic and gentle body wash which contains absolutely no chemicals or ingredients that can be toxic to the skin and will begin the repair process.

2) Apply our HAND & BODY THERACREAM carefully to the affected and surrounding areas. A thin application is all that is necessary. This will penetrate the patches, reduce inflammation and stop the itching while doing so.

3) Take, twice daily, our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER to remove impacted waste matter and toxic build up as well as assist in cleansing the liver and kidneys. This will greatly help your immune system as well.

4) Take our GREEN POWERHOUSE to provide your body with the widest array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed by the body to repair and replenish. This formula also contains the highest amount of chlorophyll which further cleanses every cell as well as promotes healthy cell growth and development.

Please let me know how you are doing as you begin this program and contact me with any questions you may have.
Warm Regards,
Nanette
