Ask for clarification on using steroids topically where you need it for LS. Clobetasol is formulated to treat it, is a lower % strength, a cream. Not oral prednisone at all. I would push on this. Good luck! I am still asking for more info too, can take time and effort finding an MD who has the knowledge, not all do!

@lydiaa16 I use Clobetasol in ointment form.

I was diagnosed in 2018 via biopsy. I did a schedule at first of clobetasol and estradiol topically daily for a month and then twice weekly. I have been well controlled. My physician is a vulva specialist which makes a huge difference. Also I find that clobetasol cream burns. I have it formulated at a compounding pharmacy using ointment instead of cream and it works much better.
