@mmoss It's important you gather information and receive support from members. This is why I moved your question to a previous discussion that you started on this topic.
Members @gracythesharl @rwinney @donnacarp @2011panc @guss @healthytoday @linsie @dablues @court135 have discussed a similar topic and may be able to offer support.
Below I have linked two other previous discussions that may be of interest to you.

May I ask if your doctor has prescribed estrogen cream?
I have this condition and my doctor put me on estrogen cream three times a week on the outside of the vagina. I put some a little ways in with my finger and it has helped.
Recently by regular dr said I had Vaginal atrophy, but gave me no other information or instructions. I followed up by making an appt with a gynecologist. She provided additional information and discovered I also had Lichen Sclerosus which was causing my itching. My regular dr missed that.
Because I have history of breast cancer she did not recommend estrogen cream. She checked with my oncologist who told her no estrogen unless other options do not work.
She also gave me a brochure that recommended these product, though I am sure there are others:
From Mayo brochure
Restore
Bio-Nourish
Satin by Sliquid
Good luck
