Benefits of Baking Soda and Coconut Oil Paste for Lichen Sclerosus

The combination of baking soda and coconut oil offers several benefits for those suffering from LS:

  • Baking Soda: Acts as a gentle exfoliant and helps to neutralize skin pH, which can reduce itching and inflammation.
  • Coconut Oil: Known for its moisturizing and antimicrobial properties, coconut oil helps to soothe and heal the skin, providing relief from dryness and irritation.

Caution When Using Baking Soda and Coconut Oil Paste

While this natural remedy can be effective, it’s important to test it on a small patch of skin first to ensure there’s no adverse reaction. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment for LS.
