Lichen Sclerosus: Any other women dealing with this disease?

I have has LS for several years. I have tried several products but I use Clobetasol twice a week and when I have a flair up I use it until it gets under control.
If I use certain toilet paper it will cause a flair up. I mentioned it to my Gynecologist and she said that some toilet paper has formaldehyde in it. I believe that to be true because if I am out during the day and I use the restroom I will have a flair up. So keep that in mind when you have a bad day.

@gjs I believe you are right, in that toilet paper can affect you. Which toilet paper in your experience has the formaldehyde, and which one are you using that doesn’t? I have been using Clobetasol ointment too, to keep LS in control but would like to avoid toilet paper that does contain chemicals like formaldehyde. At the moment I am using Charmin, and sometimes have used the Kirkland brand.
