I started with twice a week from the outset. This was because I had had LS for years before getting a proper diagnosis and at that point my skin was very thin and I expect my dermatologist wanted be conservative in her approach. In other cases, if the woman has thicker or less fragile skin a more aggressive treatment might be suitable. I would ask Why a given treatment is being recommended for you. Also, if a little bit will do the trick, so much the better, why use more. If a little bit doesn’t do the trick, time to re-evaluate.

Hi I got officially diagnosed when I guilted my dermatolgist in to taking a plug of skin to do a biopsy. Up in till now neither my gynecologist and dermatologist were taking this seriously. Skin cancer runs in my family so any skin affliction I take seriously. At first they were handing the problem off to each other with the gynecologist telling me, with no diagnoses, to find a cream at the drug store to help the itching. Definitely changing gynecologist. So long story short I have been living with this for 5 years with literally no help. At first it was raging. So I started taking supplements to help the immune system and everything is in check except the five years of scarring. I take Vitamin C, Lysine, Tumeric, Ashwagandha, (Oregano Oil, Black Seed Oil, Garlic Extract, Elderberry Combo).
