Update. The discoloration has spread to both sides of my torso and, though I cannot see it, I believe my back is affected. Seeing dermatologist in a few weeks. Isn’t there a systematic treatment. Difficult to out chlobetasol everywhere.

Be sure you keep a journal and write down dates when it all started, any changes in skin creams, ointments, feminine hygiene products, laundry soaps, etc. also mention your family history of autoimmune diseases

@gingerbear22 have you read the postings in this group? There is a close relationship between lichen sclerosis and lichen planus and autoimmune disease.
