Does this happen to anyone else? I'm also nursing and am worried that the drug might be too strong for me, and therefore my baby, due to the reaction I'm seeing. The white skin (the first symptom I noticed that led me to go to the Dr.) is now turning an ashen gray. I've called my Dr., but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. Anyone experience the same thing?

Vaginal lichen sclerosis usually start as small, subtle white spots. These areas are usually slightly shiny and smooth. As time goes on, the spots develop into bigger patches, and the skin surface becomes thinned and crinkled. As a result, the skin tears easily, and bright red or purple discoloration from bleeding inside the skin is common. More severe cases of lichen sclerosus produce scarring that may cause the inner lips of the vulva to shrink and disappear, the clitoris to become covered with scar tissue, and the opening of the vagina to narrow.

Your doctors treatment is appropriate as is your bodys response. If you are concerned about your baby you could consider temporarily bottle feeding.
