lichen sclerosis

[Guest guest]

can anyone help me with oral and topical herbs for this complaint

(bear in mind it need to be gentle in view of the area affected -

perineum area). The lady also has a similar complaint on one finger -

the skin keeps growing in layers then cracks off (or she pecks it

off ) and it is also affecting her nail - it looks thickened and not

as healthy as the others

she also gets over growth of skin on heels - chiropodist says is nore

than normal

what is going on - would a particular organ be involved (tho recent

blood tests are all clear)

sounds 'fungal' to me. there are topicals you can try

but it may be that an internal fungal preparation may

be needed...

 

for the finger, i would start with a soak... aloe

vera, chamomile and goldenseal are good for wound

healing...cayenne, flaxseed oil and red clover are

good for Psoriasis-type ailments...Astragulus heals

burns and abcesses and enhances immune

system...Evening Primrose is good for relieving skin

ailments...Licorice eases skin conditions...

 

i guess i would go with the first 3 in a pan of hot

water and soften the skin (on the finger). then use a

good brush for exfoliation then aloe vera to finish. i

would do this at least 3 x per week until you see a

noticable difference then maybe cut back to 2 x per

week. it will take a while to get through but with a

month you should see a good start. i use sand also.

heavy grade clean sand in a tub and you can heat it in

the oven or leave it cold, whichever the weather

warrants for soothing comfort. then just leave the

tub/pan by the chair for the day and when she is

sitting there watching tv or whatever, she can put her

hand in it to exfoliate..the rubbing action on the

sand is a healthy way to exfoliate. her age and

condition of skin (too thin) may warrant just the

soaks and the aloe vera and not the sand.

just my thoughts.
