Speaking from experience with the disease and Lazer treatments, I had three sessions about 6-8 weeks apart. I was symptom free for almost 6 years. Slowly, the disease is easing back into my life but there's new treatments available according to my Gyno.

I am so sorry for that! When you say flare you mean cuts and itch? I am
Fairly new to this just diagnosed. Doesn’t clob help you or perhaps laser again?

I started getting small tears and itching alot. My gyno says that the disease has spread too. I have steroid cream and a special compound cream prescribed by my gyno. I won't go through lazer therapy again.

Hello Everyone, I'm Mican (a girl). I diagnosed myself. Was always healthy except for hypothyroidism, maintained it well, (I diagnosed that also). I began itching, white paper like skin, told my primary I thought it was lichen sclerosis, she gave me provide me cream for yeast infection. Kept telling her it was not that. I went undiagnosed for about a year. I did a little search for lichen sclerosis but not much. I came across this and so many others but did read. Was angry that I had this after taking such good care of myself. Then I realized that had nothing to do with being "blessed" with this. Finally got an approval consult for Gyno-Lichen Specialist. Got 2 horrible injections and biopsy. Left lesions and burnt area. Was given Clobetasol, stopped itching first day, then started again one week later. Clobetasol caused itching, thin skin, tears. Stopped using it. I already know I will not take another injection in that special place ( just saying that). Numbing it first did not help. Wanted to scream, and I did!!. Sorry, : ) Too graphic?? Happy I found this site and will purchase the creams. Thank you so very much for all who posted. I have learned a lot! WE will all get better and we do need each other to survive and thrive. I welcome any and all suggestions and info. Ciao
I have been using a prescription, Clobetasol, from a gynecologist for at least 4 years,. This keeps the itching under control. I'm not sure if using this for many more years is safe. Has anyone been using this ointment for a long period of time and what are your thoughts on this? It seems there is not a lot of info about this condition out there. I never could find out what kind of disease it is. Is it autoimmune?
