My condition is different...it is (vulvar) "lichen sclerosus" (LS) and clobetasol propionate 0.05% is the ointment to manage this, but LS is incurable. And, if it is "differentiated" LS - what I have - it can become cancerous.
Fortunately, so far, my condition became JUST PREcancerous (VIN II/III), and had to be addressed with a complete laser ablation this past Feb. followed by another biopsy to check a particular area of concern. Got the "all clear" on that recently.

But, have to get exams every 4 - 6 months for the rest of my life, and continuously use the Clobetasol to keep it under control, hopefully.

Please do check with a(nother) gynecological oncologist.
