Anyone have success with treatment for vaginal Lichen Sclerosus?

I am a retired WHNP. I treated LS for many women.. Never did a bx. But it did require high use of a strong topical steroid. I do not like steroids, but this was the only way I ever saw a woman clear her LS. I find the long stories saddens me as to the lack of care and knowledge so many seem to encounter. It did require using the steroids more than once/d, for a time, then daily, gradually decreasing to 3x/wk.. And some had to keep the Rx around in case it returned. The last woman I treated had extensive whitening/LS, and this cleared it up.

Thank you for being the voice of sanity on this topic. I have had to deal with half my life of chronic disabling illness. When I found out I had LS I was determined to move forward, no drama. What you share sounds like what I went through before clobetasol/steroid treatment.
I appreciate your approach!

I was diagnosed visually with LS in December. Was put on clobetasol
I just had a biopsy done due to an ulcer my dermatologist noticed.
A very sore ulcer. Is this a result of being on clobetasol? Waiting for biopsy results. Any insight?

I was diagnosed with LS visually by my dermatologist in December. Extreme itching & inflammation.
No biopsy. She put me on clobetasol 2x day. After 2 months went back to her. Itching & inflammation cleared up but She noticed an ulcer. Had an appointment with my gynecologist & immediately took a biopsy. Very scary! Hoping i dont hear anything bad. Anxious & frightened. Does any of this sound familiar? Gynecologist told me to stop using clobetesol.
Waiting for results!
