I have had LS for over 10 years. For itching, I took hydroxyzine 25 mg every 8 hours as needed. I no longer itch, I just burn, I use Premarin cream 1 gr twice a week and Halobetasol Propionate ointment 0.05% twice a week. With flares, I use more of each of these beginning with twice a day for two weeks then once a day for two weeks. I also take Amitriptylin 25 mg at bedtime. For numbing, I am currently using a compounded cream every 3 hours. In the past, I used Lidocaine 5% for numbing and that is included in my compounded cream at 6% along with Aquaphor ointment. You have my deepest sympathy for having this new disease added to your long Covid. With all good wishes, @joybringer1.

Thank you Joybringer 1. Have you always used the Halobetasol Proprionate twice weekly? Was there an initial period where you used it more frequently? And if so, for how long? Thanks for your help.
