It suffer from lichen sclerosis in the genital area. It took 6 months in extreme pain to get the diagnosis. I was prescribed dermovate cream which helped after about two weeks. I was advised by my dermatologist not to use soap in areas affected and given a prescription for dermal shower emollient. I was also advised not to use wet toilet tissue or any panty liners. Since then, I have not had any real flare up from this because the minute I feel a little pain I use the dermovate cream. Hope this helps.

@veronicamac what works for me is Clobetasol ointment when my lichen sclerosis acts up.

@veronicamac - yes, the Clobetasol propionate 0.05% I understand is the most prescribed ointment.

Hope you might find (or have) a gynecologist experienced in Lichen sclerosus & its impact - present & future.

Best wishes! 🤗
