@microgirl it is wise to keep stocked up on clobetasol but there are other ointments left that have less steroid strength that will result in less loss of skin elasticity if your dermatologist is open to them. If you rarely have an outbreak clobetasol is fine but I tend to get them everywhere so have tacrolimus and desonide for my lips. Please watch your scalp closely. If you notice unusual hair loss report it to your dermatologist. They probably won’t take you seriously but early, aggressive treatment is critical for females to keep as much of their hair as possible to avoid permanent hair loss. LP of the scalp is lichen planopilaris. In a pinch Emuaid first aid ointment has worked for me on skin lesions. May I ask where you have LP on your body so far?

I have vaginal lp. I wonder if I may have esophageal lp as I started clearing my throat so often (about the same time as the oral lp was diagnosed) and I also often feel as though I can’t get food down and that has been terrifying at times. Recently had a periodontist appt and the hygienist examined my mouth and said-oh, there’s a lesion here and one there-I apparently have lesions and thankfully there is no pain but my tissue is sloughing away!!!
I was told over the summer to use Clobetasol every day which resulted in thrush! 🥲
It’s difficult to complain when so many people are in painful misery, whereas I have erosive lp with no symptoms 🤷‍♀️
