I concur. LS must be treated although it always comes back. It could be worse without treatment. This is one of those hateful diseases of "no cause, no cure." I use halebetasol, but will ask my gynecologist next week about switching to clobetasol. I did a bit of reading and one of the sites said halebetasol lasts longer after applied. I read about foods to avoid if you have lichen sclerosis. It is a long list and I eat many of the foods. I am not ready to change my diet. I eat what we have and mostly what my husband cooks. My gynecologist is the fourth one since feeling this pain many years ago. I trust her and will stay with her. I use a compounded ointment to numb the pain. Right now I am using haebetasol twice a day. Maintenance is twice per week and twice per week of Premarin. Didn't one of your doctors tell you to use the clobetasol after confirmed LS? I have appointments with my gynecologist every 3 months and I never make it to that time before I need to see her again. We always keep that as my back-up- appointment and I will be using that next week. Good luck to all of you who are suffering this dreadful disease. I have never hear of the spots on both sides of your torso. Please ask your doctor what to do! @joybringer1
