I have lichen sclerosus. Can NeuEve help me?

Lichen sclerosus is an autoimmune disease. It does not have a cure. The best way to manage the disease is to ease its discomfort symptoms.

NeuEve is not a drug, so it cannot claim to treat a disease. But it may ease discomfort. When your discomfort is reduced to near zero, you may not feel that you have a disease. This may be the next best thing to a cure.

Since the start of NeuEve 10 years ago, thousands of women suffering from lichen sclerosus have purchased NeuEve suppositories and salve (balm cream) repeatedly and reported excellent relief. This suggests that NeuEve can help ease symptoms of lichen sclerosus. Most of them used the steroid cream, Clobetisol, before but received little relief. Unfortunately, many of the patients suffered severe side effects, like high eye pressure (glaucoma) and fatty liver. due to excessive use of the steroid cream. Once they have switched to NeuEve Salve, their lichen sclerosus symptoms are relieved, and they have no more steroid side effects. Their glaucoma and fatty liver are completely gone for good.

B. For women over 55:

If you are over 55, you may be sensitive to regular Silk and salve (balm cream) due to normal aging and lichen sclerosus. You can start with sensitive versions of these products as follows:

If you are not sexually active, you can try NeuEve Salve-Gentile (Sensitive Balm Cream): https://www.neueve.com/collections/menopause/products/sensitive-cream

b) NeuEve Velvet (Sensitive Silk): https://www.neueve.com/products/sensitive-silk

c) Optional. If you have used the above 2 products for 1 month and your painful sex is not relieved, you may try adding dilators: https://www.neueve.com/dilators

After using the Sensitive versions of these products for 3-4 months, your vaginal atrophy and sensitivity may be partially relieved, and you may switch to the regular Salve (balm cream) and Silk suppositories for health maintenance, as described above for women under 55.

Tips about using the Salve (Balm Cream)

Regarding how much Salve to use, the recommended amount to start is a tiny amount, such as a light touch of the fingertip or a grain of rice-sized amount to the affected area to test your sensitivity. If you can tolerate the product, you can gradually increase the amount. Otherwise, use a reduced amount. With repeated applications, your tolerance will increase, allowing you to tolerate a higher amount. However, a pea-sized amount is the largest amount you will need. Some customers were too eager to find relief and used too much of the salve, experiencing burning. So, please do not overapply. Start with a tiny amount of the salve to test your sensitivity first.
About how many times and where you can use the Salve, you may find this article helpful: Do I apply the cream outside or inside the vagina? Can I use it more than once a day?
If you're concerned about the possibility of an allergy, you may find this article helpful: I may be allergic to the cream (Salve-Gentle). It caused burning, and I cannot use it anymore.

Tips about using the Suppository and Salve:

If you have painful sex and ordered both the Salve-Gentle and Velvet suppositories, start with the Salve-Gentle first to test your sensitivity. Once you can tolerate the tiny amount of Salve-Gentle, apply it daily for a few days, increasing the amount to boost your tolerance. Once you can tolerate a pea-sized Salve-Gentle without a problem, you can start using the suppository. This may take a few days or weeks. Please do not start the suppository before using the Salve. This could cause burning and intolerance due to the higher dosage of the suppository.

Tips about using dilators:

1) Avoid overstretching. It is understandable that one may wish to move up the sizes quickly to get a more rapid recovery. However, this can be counterproductive. The recovery of vaginal atrophy is a slow process. Moving up the dilator sizes too quickly or skipping sizes can cause overstretching, which in turn can tear the atrophied tissue, potentially leading to injuries. Please do not skip the sizes and try the largest dilator first. Please be patient and complete the exercise in a stepwise manner to avoid potential injuries due to overstretching. Please give one size dilator at least 3-4 weeks to allow tissue to catch up to the growth before moving up to the next size.

2) Preventing UTI. Physically, a dilation exercise is like sexual intercourse. The penetration movement can mobilize bacteria normally present on the skin into the bladder, causing a UTI. You will need to pee immediately after each exercise to prevent UTI. Urination can flush out any bacteria that entered the bladder during the dilation exercise. Therefore, drinking a lot of water before exercise helps build up urination flushing pressure and prevent UTIs.

How does it work?

Even though the exact cause of lichen sclerosus is unknown, a stubborn non-healing skin disease may be related to one or two factors:

Nutrient deficiency (https://www.ccjm.org/content/83/10/731)
Autoimmune damage by inflammation (https://www.everydayhealth.com/.../autoimmune-skin...).

Therefore, we formulate NeuEve to deliver relevant nutrients and anti-inflammatory natural substances.
Apparently, this combination works well for lichen sclerosus. Many customers with lichen sclerosus have reported relief after using NeuEve.

In addition to lichen sclerosus, women with other skin disorders, like vaginal dryness, atrophy, painful intimacy (dyspareunia), chronic UTIs, eczema, vulvodynia, vaginismus, posterior fourchette fissures, and even an extremely severe case of psoriasis, have reported great relief after using NeuEve.

I had suffered from Lichen sclerosus for 4 years. With this issue, the skin around the outside of my lady parts would tear with even a cough. I had seen 5 specialists who did nothing for this painful issue. I started researching to find some kind of help online and had spent a lot of money on products that claimed promises that didn't help. I didn't give up and finally came across Nueve which thank God was the answer to complete healing. They are compassionate and really care about helping their clients with better health. I have recommended them to other women who have issues with their lady parts or just menopause in general.
You have everything to gain from trying Nueve!
Sincerely, Deborah

NeuEve Salve Gentle is absolutely amazing for healing Lichen Sclerosus! I’ve had this debilitating disease for over 15 years, and this is the first time I’ve had any relief from the constant itching, burning, and pain. It’s an absolute game-changer for me! My mental anguish, so many more ailments have gone away since starting NeuEve Salve Gentle.

I’ve been using Clobetisol steroid ointment, and just recently, my optometrist expressed concern that my eye pressure had been increasing over the past year to a very dangerous number. I was also diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I started doing some research and discovered that Clobetisol was causing these issues, as well as many other metabolic problems. All of the health problems reversed within two months of discontinuing Clobetisol. Clobetisol was making things way worse! I’m actually healing now and have no itching, burning, or any other issues since using NeuEve Gentle Salve, just 10 days after starting.

I’m post menopause at 56, just started Estradiol vaginal cream, which also helps, but the NeuEve is really the winner here. Recently, I received the best advice on how to manage LS: use a Peri-bottle filled with cold, filtered, or clean tap water, or a bidet, to rinse urine off after each bathroom use. Then use a 100% organic cotton dry baby washcloth to dab dry your vagina. Toilet paper is toxic and full of carcinogens; no wonder women with LS are getting cancer of the vulva! Between the harsh chemicals in toilet paper and the toxic laundry detergents, it’s no wonder. I’m so telling everyone I know about NeuEve! Thank you, Dr. Chang, for all you’ve done to help so many people.

I have had Lichen Sclerosus; I believe I've had it since I was a teenager. I would go to the doctor with inflamed skin and be told that it is inflamed, but nothing is wrong. I went to the doctor, and then, after the doctor, I looked for relief. The pain, at times, is unbearable. I was finally diagnosed with LS within the past 6 years. The doctor wanted to put me on steroids, which did not seem to help, and stated clearly in the instructions not to put the product on your genitals.

I have found other natural products online that seemed to help, but they were messy, and after long-term use, the mess got old. I get inflamed when eating gluten. I typically stay away from gluten, but when I fall off the gluten-free wagon. Oh, do I remember why I do not eat gluten. Ouch, I was uncomfortable, desperate, and found NeuEve online. In desperation, I purchased the product, and to my delight, it seems to be helping!!! I passed the ingredients on to my naturopath, who confirmed the ingredients are safe for everyday use and could help.

My case is quite severe, and I have not gotten full relief from one full container, but I am willing to continue with optimism that I may be able to improve the quality of my life! I have not had any luck finding a doctor to help in my area. I am thankful I found this product and look forward to continued relief.

It’s great - but patience!

Salve - Gentle

Absolutely amazing
It has helped me so much! Over twenty years post-hysterectomy. Severe atrophy and itching. Has helped tremendously with lichen sclerosis. This product has helped so much. Overall, I use the balm in conjunction with the suppositories. It has made huge difference for me.

Lichen Sclerosis

Jane

I was recently diagnosed with Linchen Sclerosis. What a nightmare! The itching was so intense. It disrupted my normal daily living. I tried every prescribed cream given by my doctor. Nothing gave me relief. I was told there was no cure. The idea of living my life with this condition was unbearable since I could not sleep due to the same symptoms of intense itching. I finally found, by accident, NeuEve after doing a Google search. I decided to try it. I did have a small problem at the beginning, but that was due to using too much product. NeuEve also offers free consultation to help with the dosage. Which is extremely helpful. I now sleep through the night and get my proper rest. During the day I also function, having a normal life again. Try this product, especially if you’ve tried everything else. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, I am so happy I took the chance.

I wrote a review a few years ago, raving about NeuEve suppositories and their help in battling Lichen Sclerosis, which I had for a couple of years before discovering this wonderful product. I must confess I am also using hormone pellet insertion four times a year ($1000/year), and that has also helped with other unrelated and related symptoms. Endometriosis raged for most of my 20s, and at 32, after many laparoscopies to remove scar tissue, I underwent a partial hysterectomy via laparoscope. Six months later, a full hysterectomy. Lots of scar tissue and pain, the endometriosis was all over and sticking to internal organs, bowel, and appendix. Hence, 6 months after a hysterectomy, I had a laparoscopic appendectomy. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have all-over pain and fatigue most of the time. I guess you could say that I have a lot of health issues, but I try to keep a positive outlook and use healthy alternatives in my treatment.

Of course, some things come with age, and it gets difficult to pinpoint causes with so many diagnoses. I feel good knowing that Neu Eve is one treatment where I can control what goes into my body and know it is not detrimental. As compared to steroids. NeuEve is almost like my body is producing the results; it feels that natural. More of my journey. In my mid-60s, I developed Lichen Sclerosis. I had many problems with intimacy over the years, from endometriosis, but nothing like Lichen. It was terrible, and the itching was unbearable. I could not wear any panties or pants. I started my search for treatment, and Googling was one of my tools. Luckily, I found NeuEve on the web and felt it was worth a try. I use both the cream and suppositories as needed, which is about once or twice every other week. I keep the suppositories in the freezer, and one would think that would be a shock, but it makes the product disperse slowly. After I shower and prep for bed, I have enough time to retire before seepage or wearing a liner while sleeping. The Lichen and Fibro make wearing certain fabrics and panty liners impossible for me. So, the freezer works well. The benefits I experienced with the suppositories were noticeable quickly. It really works well, and, believe me, with all the skin issues I have, it is essential to me that I get no adverse results from any of the products I use. All natural. Of my four siblings, two are sisters, one two years older and the other five years younger.

None of us had children, and we all developed Lichen. I'm unsure why we all seemed to develop symptoms in a short timespan, apart from the age differences. It's great for sharing treatments, but not the type of thing we would like to share with others. We also figured that our mother, who passed about 5 years ago, had it and did not talk about it, or we were uninformed to listen to her concerns. Each of my siblings started with traditional gynecological steroids and estrogen suppositories without much success. We all started to seek out more natural forms of treatment. My eldest sister has the most severe case. She is now using bio-identical hormones and being treated by a natural healing doctor, and having good success. I opted for Neu Eve and pellet hormones, and I can say for the most part, I have made a huge dent in the symptoms.

In fact, there are some issues that Neu Eve has cured that I have been troubled by since my 40s, specifically pain and dryness. My youngest sister had a total hysterectomy from uterine cancer at 42 and cannot use hormones. Currently, she is doing OK, but I have already given her some Neurontin crème and will be ordering her some suppositories soon. She can maybe nip it in the bud before her symptoms progress. I really can’t impress how much help this product can give if you just try it. As this is my second review, I believe that a brief history may be helpful to others seeking treatment options. Another option I have explored, but hesitated to opt for due to the cost and lack of insurance coverage, is the laser treatment called Mona Lisa Touch. It can cost more than $ 1,000, but it has mixed reviews. However, I just read a review from a woman close to my age who experienced great results for incontinence. Don’t have that yet? As you have read, I have tried and explored many treatments, and I can honestly say that I am grateful to have found Neu Eve on the web, as it aided my quest for information and reviews about Neu Eve. I feel that Neu Eve is superior in the treatment of vaginal issues. Give it a try if you are looking for natural healing. This company genuinely cares about its clients and is always available to help should any questions arise. In closing, I apologize for the length of this review. Just think, if it can help me, what can it do for you?

What a difference!

Cheri

Honestly, I’m not usually a person who writes reviews for things, but it was the reviews on this site that got me to purchase this in the first place. I am 55 years old and FINALLY am in menopause as of last November. The last few years I have been dealing with vaginal dryness and tearing. I was diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus, and my doctor prescribed a small dose of estrogen to help with the dryness. That has not helped at all, and even though I made sure to lubricate before intimacy, it was still very painful. I honestly thought my sexual days were over. But how? I’m too young! My husband has been so patient and understanding, but I wasn’t going to accept that this was the end of the line for me. I was willing to try anything, but nothing was working. My doctor suggested coconut oil but it’s so messy! I started searching the internet and somehow found NueEve. What the heck. I’m willing to try anything at this point. It has been fantastic. I noticed a difference right away, but was still a little reluctant to put it to the test. I waited until around the 5th dose and absolutely NO PAIN! Even my husband said he noticed the difference and the fact that I didn’t flinch from pain. They do suggest taking fish oil and calcium pills too, and I am more than happy to do that if I get the results like I have! After one month, I have renewed my subscription for a recurring order. I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with vaginal dryness and \ \ Lichen Sclerosus. Thank you for such a great product!

Lichen Sclerous

Gail

I was diagnosed over 10 years ago with LS. I experience pain 24/7. Having tried other products, I highly recommend NeuEve products. I started with the cream and silk, but I haven't tried the silver yet. I noticed relief from the burning and itching in less than 24 hours. I also use the vaginal magnetic dilators. I am so thankful I found this product. Thank you, thank you.

Total relief for lichen sclerosus!
Deborah

Over the past 5+ years, I have suffered from lichen sclerosus. My skin was so frail that I couldn't even cough without my skin ripping open on my lady parts. I have consulted with five specialists and received no help. So after being so disappointed with Drs. I started doing my now internet research. Again, it took many attempts with various creams, ointments, suppositories, and more before I came across NeuEve. NewEve is the only company that really has the best information and knowledge about lichen sclerosus and other issues women have with their lady parts. I use their salve and suppositories, and it has totally relieved the lichen sclerosus. Unfortunately, I'm unable to be intimate with my husband of 52 years. I had surgery a year ago to have my cervix tacked up, and after that, it has been too painful. Again, after seeing a pain specialist and a hormone specialist and trying their suggestions, it's still a no-go trying to be intimate. I told my hubby, 'We'll at least have had a few great years of rolling under the sheets.' I've pretty much given up on it, and it's really frustrating, making me feel sad at times.

Review of Neu Eve Sensitive Vulva Balm Cream

I have been using this vulva cream for a month now. It really does what they say it does. It has controlled my lichens better than anything else. It has toughened up areas in my groin near my vulva. I’ve also used it in my anal area that is often irritated. I’m very grateful to have found this product.

Neueve Silk - Excellent Product!

Christi M

I have lichen sclerosus of the vaginal/rectal area. My skin had become fused together and compromised, making it extremely difficult to have intercourse. Neueve helped with skin elasticity and vaginal burning, thus making my skin feel as it did prior to menopause. I highly recommend this product!

Relief

Dawn H.

This cream has a pleasant scent and has provided me with significant relief from lichen sclerosis. Before using this product, my skin was so thin and delicate, let alone itchy, that I would bleed profusely during normal oral sex.

Excellent Cream so far for Lichen Sclerosus!!!!

Becky

This is a miracle cream. I have lichen sclerosus and have had it since the day I was born. I have tried almost everything on the market, as well as everything the doctor has recommended that should help, but nothing has worked. I have been using the cream for about a month now, and I have finally experienced relief for the first time in my life. The itching has always been my biggest problem, and now I have relief from that. I'm unable to use the suppositories, so I have been using the cream instead, and it is working. Thanks

Silk suppository and cream

Sandy

I am amazed at how quickly my severe lichen sclerosus was reversed. I was so severe that my OB/GYN was able to see through my vaginal tissue into my bladder! I had extremely painful intercourse with bleeding, but after 3 months of treatment, I have plump tissue like a young girl again! Thank you.

At last - comfort!

Marilyn

Around the age of 70, I began having severe burning, which was misinterpreted to be UTI symptoms by my doctor, in spite of my explaining that the burning was external, not during voiding. Antibiotics didn’t help; the discomfort was always there, periodically getting worse. I had a drawer full of remedies that I tried. Either they just didn’t help, or else they caused further unbearable burning. While doing desperate online searches, I found NeuEve. No irritation and relief by the next morning. Finally, a urogynecologist 50 miles from me diagnosed **lichen planus** the first time she examined me, not lichen sclerosis. I had three laser treatments, which helped the lesions that she found. I still had dryness, though, and she advised that I should continue NeuEve. If I am out before the next shipment arrives, I can tell that I missed it. I will never be without Neu Eve, **lichen planus** is not curable and it flares up without Neu Eve.

LONG REVIEW....NeuEve BV Clearing Kit

LaToya

I have had itching and resulting burning from the constant itching, which are symptoms of BV and vaginal atrophy. I also had a horrible darkening of my vagina and painful intercourse. I also have symptoms and signs of Lichen Sclerosus. I ordered the product to see whether I could get rid of this horrible nightmare of a year and a half of itching. I waited until I had completed the three suppositories before writing a review, so I could give an honest assessment of how this product worked for me.

I completed the full BV kit, using one suppository every 3-5 days (with a break between for my menses). On the first night, due to the damage from scratching, it burned and became irritated for about a minute. On the outside areas that burned I wiped with an unscented, lint free wipe. After the sensation subsided, I was so overjoyed! The itching minimized and the product felt like it was “working” and I was able to fall asleep without scratching myself raw, my vagina also felt different, as if blood was circulating around the area and plumping it up.

After my menses, I used the 2nd suppository. There was no burning, and the itching was still progressively getting less and less (this was far better results than the medications that I was prescribed, which didn't do anything but burn constantly with no relief from the burning or itching). I used the last suppository, and there was no burning, except in areas where I had irritated the skin (and in areas where the LS bumps were). However, even in those areas, the bumps were not as pronounced, itchy, or painful as they had been before.

After using the second suppository, I realized that my prayers for relief had been answered, and I immediately ordered another BV kit, the NeuEve Assorted Suppository Kit, and the NeuEve cream. My only regret (in my haste to try anything that may have worked for me), I didn't order the NeuEve vulvar itching Cream in my first order, since I still had itching around my vulvar and believed that may have helped me also to completely stop the constant itching whiles using the suppositories.

What I didn't like about the product (hence 4 stars, wished you could do 1/2 stars...the product is really 4.5/5) was that the suppositories were breaking up somewhat when taking them out of the package, and the gritty discharge (which burned certain areas, once I wiped this gritty substance, the burning stopped).

My results are very good and I would definitely use and recommend this product (in spite of my dislikes). I can report that my vagina began lubricating itself after the 3rd and final suppository, my vagina’s color is lightening somewhat, and most importantly…THE ITCHING IS ALMOST GONE!! I believe the vulvar cream was the only thing missing from my first try of the product, so I recommend getting the cream along with the formula.

If you are suffering and the prescribed BV meds are not working…please, please give the NeuEve formulas a try. I am not a doctor, but if you have LS, you should also try these products, as they seem to be helping with this issue, too. I will be ordering NeuEve to keep on hand. Thank you for such a wonderful product that is working beautifully for me.
