Yes, that is what clobetasol is supposed to do help with LS lesions but it's not 100 % sometimes if they get bad and might cause scarring you may have to give prednisone a try that's what my gyn told me. If that didn't work, she was going to biopsy the sore, but it cleared up within a few days That's why any sore with LS that comes up and doesn't clear up after a couple weeks I go to my gyn and get it looked at. It's a pain but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
