Thanks for your response.
I’ve tried aquaphor, hydrocortisone, vulvar balm, barrier cream, vagisil, silvadene & lidocaine. Some work short term. I have lots of flare ups of itchiness, soreness, inflammation. Don’t know what else to try!

Clobetasol propionate 0.05%?

I have lichen sclerosus & have had laser ablation, then excision of a smaller area, now trying to address current lesions with Imiquimod ("Aldara") cream per my gynecologic Oncologist...which, if it doesn't reduce/ remove them means further excision.

There is a lichen sclerosus support group online that has Zoom calls every Saturday.

As I've researched it on my own, (& having been diagnosed with LS ~45 years ago), LS & VIN II/III (Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia) - the precancerous condition I've been diagnosed with - are more common than we as patients know or are educated to watch for.

Fortunately I've had good (well-informed) gynecologists along the way.

It's still strange to me that the cause remains unknown.

Let me know if I might be of any further assistance.

Best wishes.
