Thank you. This was amazing. I have had perianal problems for at least 5 yrs. Finally got Dr to admit I had vulvar LS, but nobody will tell me if it is in the perianal area too. I am convinced it is. This gave me the help to advocate better for myself. Dr. Mauskar, you are a true professional. A Doctor & a human being in one. Wish we had more Gynocologists & Dermatologists like you in Toronto.
Thank you for sharing!
