Hi! I have had Lichen Sclerosis for 15 years or more. My first suggestion is that you find a new doctor. There are prescription medications for the condition and there’s no excuse for your doctor blowing you off like that. I use Clobetasol Propoipinate two - three times a week and it has helped greatly. I used to have areas break open and bleed like you mentioned. Since being on the Clobetasol, I don’t have that happen anymore. With the right treatment it gets better so hang in there. Take Care. 😀

Yes, ive been on this cream on and off, but since it is a very strong steroid my dr suggested to quit using it. She made 2 suggestions about either using a topical estrogen cream or changing my birth control. I apply baby aquaphor when i seem too dry and be very careful. I think i have another yeast infection, which seems impossible, i dont take baths or been in any type of body of water, etc etc. I know things are connected, i just need to get ahold of someone really knowledgeable, and cares. Unfortunately i have to travel hours to see any sort of specialist. I just want to figure this out
