I am using clobetesol 2x daily. I just started. I originally told my dermatologist the only thing that helped was Vagisil which has lidocaine in it. She told me to not use it. It is causing too much inflammation. You use lidocaine with clobetesol??

@andwho, You must be having a flare. I use Clobetasol twice weekly when I am not in flare mode. Lately, I am using compounded Lidocaine 10% with Vaseline to numb the vulva area. I use this about every three hours. I burn if I do not numb. It is always a miserable situation. I see a gyn. I am not saying what works for me works for everyone. I did not have luck with what my dermatologist prescribed. I was there for my yearly check-up of moles and mentioned my LS problems. I gave it a try with her, but it was not for me. I am back to my gyn. Best wishes as you seek answers to your situation. @joybringer1
