How does DermaSilk underwear work?

DermaSilk underwear is specifically developed to protect and comfort sensitive skin in the genital area, including skin affected by lichen sclerosus. The garments are made from pure medical silk that is 100% sericin-free and treated with a permanent antibacterial finish that does not wash out. This finish does not disrupt the natural bacterial balance of the skin.

Key features of DermaSilk include:

Soft and breathable to prevent friction and overheating
Moisture regulating to keep the intimate area dry without drying out
Antimicrobial to reduce the growth of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus
Non-irritating and free from chemical finishes and elastane

Clinical experience shows that DermaSilk can significantly improve daily comfort when used alongside prescribed medical treatment for lichen sclerosus.

Wear and Care

DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing is designed to be lightweight and body forming. It needs to be close-fitting and in contact with the skin at all times to be fully effective.
As with all natural fibres, DermaSilk will last longer if 2 or more garments are rotated in use rather than a single garment being washed and worn continuously.
When used in combination with medical creams and ointments, care should be taken to ensure that the medication is fully absorbed into the skin before the DermaSilk clothing is worn.
Do not use fabric softeners or conditioners.
Do not bleach DermaSilk clothing as it will damage the structure of the fabric.
DermaSilk clothing should preferably be hand washed using a mild non-biological (enzyme free) detergent, rinsed thoroughly and laid flat to dry on a towel
Have a look at SkinSalveation washing powder which is a delicate, filler-free detergent designed to effectively clean without fuss.
DermaSilk can be machine washed at 30 degrees providing it is placed in a net bag to protect the seams from tangling with other washing. Do not tumble dry DermaSilk as silk prefers to be humid rather than bone dry..
Use a cool steam iron if necessary. If the garment goes out of shape it can normally be restored using this method.
In areas with hard water the softness of DermaSilk can be restored as follows: After every 10 washes, soak DermaSilk clothing in a solution of 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda per litre of water overnight to maintain the softness of the fabric, then wash as instructed. This method can also be used for stain removal.
Please note that the antimicrobial agent (AEM 5772/5) is bonded permanently into the silk and will not leach out of the fabric, even after numerous washes.

FAQs about DermaSilk underwear and lichen sclerosus

Can bacteria or fungi become resistant to DermaSilk?joyce2026-01-14T11:56:37+00:00

Can bacteria or fungi become resistant to DermaSilk?

No. Bacteria and fungi cannot become resistant to DermaSilk because its action is mechanical rather than chemical.

The AEGIS molecule damages the cell wall of micro-organisms upon contact. Because no substances are released or absorbed, micro-organisms cannot adapt to it. This ensures long-lasting effectiveness, even with prolonged use and repeated washing.

Are there foods you should avoid with lichen sclerosus?

There is no specific diet that cures lichen sclerosus, but certain foods may worsen symptoms. Highly processed foods, sugar, spicy foods, coffee and alcohol can further irritate the skin.

For some people, gluten, dairy products and nightshade vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers may also increase irritation. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in vegetables, fruit, fish and olive oil may help. If in doubt, always consult your GP or dietitian.
