@andwho - Clobetasol is an opaque ointment by prescription only as I understand it. Each tube lasts a long time for me.

Also, as I understand it, LS is a lifelong condition which flares at times, especially under stressful conditions.

In the recent past I've found that UK (United Kingdom, England) reputable medical sites are more on top of LS and its treatment than some US sites, though that may have changed in recent years as support groups have rallied for advances.

Here're a few search results that are worth checking out further, including a UK site:

Are there any over the counter products that can help with LS?
