I have seen 2 ob/gyns and a dermatologist . I rejected the ob/gyn biopsy offers, the idea of any further added pain was too much to consider. But I may have to reconsider since there has been no improvement. Both gyns said that the steroids would NOT cause the bumps or lesions that have appeared and gotten worse. However, I've read the common side effects of one of the steriods are blisters, pimples, redness, itching, acne, just to name a few. Estrace cream has it's list of side effects too. So I am doubly frustrated thinking that they are both mistaken or just reluctant of admit such a possibility. I really don't know where to turn at this point.
