Hannah's appointment for the lichen sclerosis went well yesterday too, everything looks good, in fact great... and she said to start, we will see her in 6 months again and to report if we had to follow the action plan, and then it will be every year most likely, depending on how many problems this causes. So far so good. We have our 3 step plan to follow with the ointments, so we just wait and see. We haven't had to apply anything for about a month. Since this thing didn't go away on it's own for over a year, we expect it to come back at some point.
Her itchy spot started to itch again last night, we applied more cream and I thought of the idea of cold on the area, so applied an ice pack and it helped alot. whew. It looks like hives or an allergic reaction-- bumpy swollen skin in just that small area of a previous site. Talked to the diabetes nurse educator yesterday and she told me to apply hydrocortisone cream, and told me a few other things that I was already kinda doing....she wasn't sure what it could be except a reaction to the site or wipes, could be an infection, but just to keep doing what I'm doing and if it gets worse to have her seen. This morning went off without a hitch, and she never mentioned it, so as long as she doesn't touch it, it may just go away.
