Anyone have success with treatment for vaginal Lichen Sclerosus?

I have been thinking about how LS is something I'm living with, it's one autoimmune illness that I can't really talk about with a close friend. Unless there was an LS warrior, right?!
One other thing I'm thinking to share: It's Vulvar, not vaginal, LS. Everything I've learned is that it doesn't involve the vagina. It's actually an eczema involving the Vulva. Thankful for small favors! External, not internal.
If anyone has info that is different , please share!

@jw9 - It was good to see your clarification on the "body parts" we're talking about. It's quite the learning experience. This past year I was showing my vulva dermatologist a place on my arm that (I felt like) was a reaction to a new body wash. It was a rash type reaction and was actually clearing up as I had stopped using the body wash and was using a anti-itch cream. She immediately said it was classic psoriasis and prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream 0.025%.
I searched just now and this is what the internet says about this cream. "Triamcinolone acetonide is a potent synthetic corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling from skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, also used in injections for joints or lesions, and nasal sprays for allergies."
So, I'm wondering if anyone has had this prescribed for their LS.
Thanks.

If LS can cause ulcers then how are they treated? With clobetasol? I’ve been using that and the ulcer is still there! Anything else I can use?
