1 ReactionI am just recently diagnosed with LS. Diagnosed by my dermatologist. She put me on clobetesol. That cleared up the inflammation & itchiness. Thank god! But I have a sore that clobetesol did not help.
Has anyone had the same experience or used something different ??

I have had good success with Pur (brand) Ozone-Infused Coconut Oil. Might be worth a try, I was surprised how much it helped me.

Thank you!
Did you suffer with sores that didn’t heal with clobetesol?

1 ReactionI have bumps not really sore. They reduced in size somewhat since I started Clobetesol six months ago.

1 ReactionDoes it take that long on clobetasol to get LS under control? I’ve been using it since Thanksgiving 2x a day. Not long enough???

Are you using clobetesol also? I’ve been using clobetesol since Thanksgiving. It’s helped the inflammation & itchiness but not a sore that burns whenever I urinate. What to do???? Anything else I can try???

1 Reaction@andwho The only thing I use, or need, is Lisepten. It works that well for me. I also have a very healthy diet which I'll bet also helps.

1 Reaction@andwho I personally never used it. I didn't like the side effects. Each person does need to consider their own situation and make a decision based on their own severity, etc.
