Hello Tina T,
Thank you so much for your reply, it is much appreciated!
I have set up an appointment with a dermatologist for a second opinion and will see my Dr. again in 90 days to see how the Clobetasol is working. I will say though, before I started on the Clobetasol (7 days ago) my symptoms were next to nothing except after sex I would have slight tearing. But three days ago I looked to see more redness on my vulva caused by the Clobetasol! I'm thinking that I was putting to much on and not rubbing it in enough. So for the past 2 days I have been using a tiny amount and rubbing it in well.
My Dr. said not to have sex for two weeks while first starting the treatment and I haven't! I do feel that my perineum is not so susceptible to tearing as I have tested a little bit over the past week but not with intercourse, just on my own.
She also said that any irritation after having sex and tearing will go away with treatment and sex will be normal, like it was before I started having symptoms.
Also, what do you know or think about collagen treatment for the vulva? I did a search on collagen and sites came up right away on treating Lichen sclerosis with collagen! Here is a link, let me know what you think.
