Vulvar Vestibulities / Vulvodynia may be a type of Lichen Planus
I have had extreme (like on fire) pain in my vagina since I was 25 years old (I am 58). Many doctors, no answers. About 2 years ago I got very raw lesions in my mouth, inside my right cheek and had them biopsied. Just looking at the white striations and irritated area he had guessed it was Oral Lichen Planus, and he was right. It is an autoimmune condition and can show up in your vagina too. It basically means the mucus membranes in your body are breaking down. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post a link but this doctor has really clear easy to understand explanation of it and some food and vitamin ideas that are supposed to help. I also had one blue mole about the size of a grain of rice show up on my leg just like he says. Mine doesn't hurt unless I provoke it, thank goodness, so I don't know if his ideas work but it does seem eating chickpeas (garbanzo beans) helps me. https://draxe.com/health/lichen-planus/
