I was put on Vagifem 10 mcg Tablet
Generic name: estradioL
INSERT 1 TABLET(10 MCG) VAGINALLY 2 TIMES A WEEK
(I prefer this over the cream inserted in the tube.

and

Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1 % Ointment
Commonly known as: KENALOG

Apply to the affected area(s) two times a week.
Then use an over the counter product like Vagisil other days if needed.
Negative Stress tends to make it worse. Wash the area daily without soap.

To clean vaginal area I soap up my hand with coconut soap and gently rub the area and use hand held wand in shower (mild temperature water) to gently rinse. My vulvar dermatologist has me alternate estradoil (use liberally) and Clobetasol (tiny bit on just painful areas). These are applied once a day at bedtime. This has controlled my LP the best in the 20+ years of painful suffering. So good to finally find a doctor who knows what to do.
