Using NeuEve balm cream (Salve) may provide relief for the burning sensation you’re feeling, especially if the lesions are affecting the anal area. Here are a couple of options based on your age:
- If you are under 55: You may find the NeuEve Salve (Balm Cream) helpful. https://www.neueve.com/collections/vaginal-salves/products/salve
- If you are over 55: The gentler Salve-Gentle (Sensitive Balm Cream) could be a better fit for your sensitive skin. https://www.neueve.com/collections/menopause/products/salve-gentle
One jar of the Salve typically lasts 3 to 5 months.
When using it for the first time, start with a very small amount—about the size of a grain of rice—applied to the affected area to test for sensitivity. If you tolerate it well, you can gradually increase to a pea-sized amount. However, do not exceed a pea-sized amount, as using too much may lead to irritation.
Lichen sclerosus in the perianal area can lead to fissures and discomfort during bowel movements, which can exacerbate your symptoms. It’s important to monitor your condition closely.
If you are experiencing additional internal symptoms such as bleeding, deep pain, or discharge, I recommend consulting with a physician. These could indicate other conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhoids, or infections that may require further evaluation.
Your comfort and well-being are important to us, and I hope you find relief soon. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.
