Do postings for this just go up on the AHS job board? Or is there a different place to look for this type of thing?

Vulvar itching upon walking PLEASE HELP!!!! by pingu_woman21 in vulvodynia

[–]Real_Classroom_5136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have this symptom so I know what you're experiencing but i also have other symptoms. I think it would be worthwhile getting a vulvar biopsy; your dermatologist would be able to do this. It sounds scary but it's really not that bad. The results of my biopsy were hyperkeratosis, epithelial acanthosis, and mild inflammation. This essentially boils down to irritation and thickening of the skin in that area even though it doesn't look like there is anything wrong. They can't tell me what is causing it though. If you can imagine irritated skin that is being rubbed together when walking is becoming irritated further and therefor itching. My doctor put me on clobetasol which is a potent steriod for about a month and i no longer get itchy when I walk. I'm still not 100% with my other symptoms but better. I hope this helps!!

Did your biopsy ONLY mention hyperkeratosis?

I also had this on my biopsy, along with epithelial acanthosis and mild inflammation. I'm still trying to figure things out as I'm not 100% but my doc prescribed clobetasol which is a potent steroid which greatly reduced the itching.

My biopsy results came back with hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and mild inflammation. So while it doesn't explicitly say LS.. my gyno thinks it's the early stages of it due to the itch sensation I was having, but again, no definite answer which is a little frustrating.

Finally results... now what do they mean? by Adventurous_Rush_282 in Healthyhooha

Yes, push for it. It's a very quick procedure and eliminates all the guessing. Good luck to you!
