Lichen sclerosus do you suffer from this auto immune condition while on HT.

I started on Prostap 5 months ago experiencing most of the normal side effects over that time.

I also started getting pain in my anus especially when passing stools, a rash also appeared on my perineum which was raised and quite sore.

My biggest concern was that the cancer had spread to my rectum but my urology nurse said that was unlikely.

I started to use suppositories and cream to ease the pain but the rash and sensitivity still remained.

Today I found out what the problem might be Lichen sclerosus a condition that mainly affects menopausal women caused by an imbalance of hormones.

It is an autoimmune condition that cannot be cured only treated with medication and creams to relieve the symptoms.

Anyone else had the same condition because I can't find any information that says this could be a side effect of HT with Prostap.
