New lumps after vulvectomy

Hi there

I recently was diagnosed with vulvar cancer & had a radical vulvectomy 4 weeks ago.

I also have lichen sclerosis.  This week I have noticed 2 new lumps around my vulva & one of these is really itchy.  I have started using diprosone again to relieve itchiness.  Should I be concerned?

Re: New lumps after vulvectomy

DiBw,

Thank you for reaching out for support.

Unfortunately I cannot give you any medical advice, I would like to suggest consulting your GP to check if ok to continue using that cream.

Cancer Council NSW has some online information about Vulvar Cancer that you may find useful 

https://www.cancer.org.au/cancer-information/types-of-cancer/vulvar-cancer

 

If anyone in the community has gone through something similar it will be great to share your story here.

 

Best wishes

Susana
