Anyone have success with treatment for vaginal Lichen Sclerosus?

@jw9
I’ve been using clobetesol since the end of November prescribed by my dermatologist for lichen sclerosis. It has helped with itching & inflammation. I do have a sore/ulcer on my labia which burns during urinating, she now gave me Silvadene for the ulcer but that burns. Is this a result of the LS? How long do sores/ulcers last for & any suggestions on what might help? Thanks for any advice.

My gynecologist prescribed Betamethasone Valerate. After following her instructions I use Calmoseptine (over the counter) to keep urine from irritating the areas.

There's really no way I can give some kind of definitive answer because we are all so individualized with LS. I read a lot of posts about burning with urination and women are even using spray bottles to remove urine. If it was me I'd let my doctor know the Silvadene burns. Also ask if it is the result of LS.
I would never ignore any open wound/sore and work with my doctor to help heal it. It's the nature of these support groups to refrain from giving out medical advice. I actually appreciate that. Instead of medical advice we can help by sharing our experience. I have been back and forth to my gynecologist since this diagnosis. We deserve to learn what we can to live with a chronic condition like LS.
