Diagnosed With Lichen Sclerious. Taking Clobetasol Propionate. Doctor Told That My Vaginal Area Is Closing
I had been diagnosed with lichen sclerious (sp) about 3 years ago and have been taking Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%2x weekly and because of my moving, I found a new doc. He told me my vaginal area is closing and he is prescribing me to take the same medication, but 2X daily. He also prescribed Estrace 2x weekly. I am 75 years old and have had no sexual activity for about 10 years. Could I have your thoughts on this? Thank you
