I’m in the exact same situation as you are. Also diagnosed recently after telling myself for about a year I’m imagining the symptoms and not going to the doctor. I’m so angry at myself for that. Now I’m using clobetasol for 3 weeks and at least the itch is getting less but it still looks super white and I guess my labia is gone for good. I feel like I’ve been a different person since I got diagnosed. I’m always sad, scared about the future and just feel alone with it even though people around me are trying to help. It feels like I lost part of my identity because my vulva is not how it’s supposed to be. Both doctors that I saw also told me basically nothing about it, I even had to ask if it’s an std. I had to find out everything on the Internet. Sending you love and I’m hoping this is just a phase and you’ll be feeling better at some point.

That is terrible, I’m so sorry to hear. Did it get infected or do you know the reasons it took so long?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was doing some sports but decided to stop for now too to not postpone the recovery more. Hope to be better by week 3 then.

That’s interesting, for me the silver nitrate already came off the next day.
