Now, I listed a whole thing of abnormalities and it's the same thing.

Anything white, anything red, anything shiny, anything matte, anything bleeding, anything not bleeding, anything ulcerated, anything brown, black, whatever.

If it's new and it hasn't been there before...

and you haven't had it forever, then if it's changed, then you need to get it checked.

So once a month, alongside your boobie examination, check your vulva as well.

Do not disturb.

I was going to say, wear up, wear up.

No.

Definitely have.

You might like it.

You might do.

And that is perfectly fine.

So with the vulva, obviously the skin changes are important.

If you do, you might feel an itchy bit of skin, a sore piece of skin.

Get that checked as well.

There's lots of conditions of the vulva that aren't cancer.

One of the most common ones is something called lichen sclerosis, which is essentially it's a chronic autoimmune skin condition that

where it's your own immune system causing the problem, which can cause itchy or shiny or white or grey patches on the vulva, particularly after the menopause.

And so that can be treated with cream.

We can't cure it, it's a chronic condition, but we can treat it with creams as well.
