Does anyone know anything about this skin disease? I had a skin biopsy done to find out if this is what I have. My ob-gyn said that he thought this is what he thinks it is. We are waiting on the results. I have 3 more days to find out. I am very worried, scared, and anxious to know. I hate that I am a very impatient person. I've googled like crazy and the information I've come across doesn't seem very helpful. I appreciate anything on this subject:)
Hi there! I have this!!! I found out about a year ago, in a surprise biopsy for my yearly appointment! What would you like to know about it? I have never found anyone else that has this! I would be more than happy to share info with you!
My ob described as a condition where the external sexual organs fuse together if not treated. The good news is that the treatment she mentioned was a steroid cream. She also told me the condition is usually found in older women and is often mistaken for a yeast infection. She mentioned it to me as a possibility during an exam when I was pregnant but said things often looked different during pregnancy so we waited to do the biopsy until after delivery. At my 6 week checkup she thought everything looked normal so we never ended up doing the biopsy. Hope that helps some and good luck to you with everything!
Hi Angie,

This link was pretty informative. It is a government website but is in simple terms. There is also a place to click where you can order a publication on it.
