Vulvar lichen sclerosis biopsy scheduled--many questions

Six months ago my ob/gyn said everything looked great--no signs of disease. I was in remission. Still, I continued my clobetasol twice a week, estrogen cream twice a week, and daily barrier cream and emu oil. However, yesterday I was informed I need a biopsy for a suspicious area. I'm frightened and would love to hear from people who have gone through a biopsy, how they prepared for it, and how they cared for the area from which the biopsy was taken after the fact. On line I've seen contradictory statements as to whether to continue using the clobetasol during the weeks leading up to the biopsy. What did your doctors recommend? Mine is a woman of few words. I was given an appointment for the biopsy and sent on my way.
Thank you all for your answers and for metaphorically holding my hand at this difficult time.
