"I have tried everything to get rid of my lichen sclerosus, and it was so bad in the vaginal area. Now the great thing is that I tried Lotrimin cream for ringworm and antifungal, and it has completely cleared up the vaginal area. The white spots are completely gone. That's what I will use from here on out."

"I had been to two doctors who couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Finally, I happened to see a nurse practitioner who knew what I had right away: Lichen Sclerosus. I had gone untreated for a year and was in terrible pain. There was severe disfigurement of my anus and vulva. The clobetasol treatment completely got rid of the pain and itching immediately. I had my first full night’s sleep in months. This med is wonderful for this disease."

Clobetasol topical "BRAND TEMOVATE works; generic does not!! From personal experience, and that of a friend (I had brand, she had generic). I am cured; she is not. Also, hormone replacement orally and topically of estrogen plus testosterone helped greatly with the cure. I keep the area clean, using liquid soap plus Hibiclens. After drying, I lightly use Nystop powder. I apply the topicals 2x daily. I can again enjoy sex, climaxing, and also have a normal life... just like I used to have. I had to appeal my insurance decision to get brand Temovate."

"I caught this early due to itching. Started with twice-daily application of the cream, then twice weekly and have been on long-term maintenance for six years using only when itching recurs. My primary physician does a visual check annually."

"Made me worse. Set me on fire. Purple, red, and shredded my skin. I sent a photo to my MD. It was a big STOP NOW. Steroids are a bad drug in general and NOT designed for long-term use. Any MD who cannot think outside the box and do something different rather than use this general go-to dermatological ointment... find a new MD."

"After years of suffering unbearable burning and itching, finally diagnosed with lichen sclerosus. The symptoms disappeared completely after 2 applications of clobetasol and have been kept at bay by a twice-weekly maintenance regimen."

"I've had terrible itching in my vaginal area, including my anus, also terribly sore and swelling. My GP sent me to a gynecologist, who diagnosed me with lichen sclerosus. He prescribed clobetasol. It took only a few days for the nasty itching to stop. Thank God for clobetasol!"

"My obstetrician/gynecologist cured the vaginal lichen sclerosus by surgically using extra skin. Still, I have to use the ointment 2x a week on the anal skin to keep the area from pain, itching, and bleeding. On other days, since it is not recommended to use too often, I use raw shea butter, with emphasis on 'raw.'"

"I have had this problem since I was probably a preteen. I always wondered why one side of my outer vulva was more swollen and just not right looking. I can't believe I've dealt with this for at least 10 years undiagnosed. No one has ever said anything until I went to my doctor, finally complaining. She diagnosed me and prescribed me this ointment. First treatment went great, itching went away completely! Since I have only applied it twice, I'm not sure yet how well it will work. I'm just happy to have a diagnosis."

Clobetasol topical "Worked great for me, 2 times a day for 2 weeks, then once a day. Now I only use it when I feel symptoms, maybe once or twice a month. I'm careful not to use too much."

Clobetasol topical "I've used Clobetasol Propionate for several years now. I have to use the ointment, the cream burns when I apply it. But it heals the cracks, itching, and bleeding I get from my outbreaks."

"Finally, relief. Just wish that I could use it every day. I have noticed, though, that even on my 20 days off each month, the itching is less than before."

"Did not help me in the generic cream form. Caused burning and irritation. Switched to Vaseline and bacitracin, which have worked far better."
