Thanks again for all of your support. Just to let you know I have a different diagnosis of Lichen Planus and will now need a biopsy and am awaiting a gynae appt. Any experience of this condition would be gratefully received as feeling slightly out of my depth

Sorry to hear this. I think you will find other women with lichen planus on the private Vaginal Atrophy Facebook support group.

I was diagnosed with lichens sclerosus and traces of lichens planus by my vulva consultant a few years ago although i never had the biopsy to confirm this. The treatment was Clobetasol which you are already being prescibed.  Just continue using this until your biopsy.  Using Clobetasol and Ovestin together has prevented any recurrence and its treatable and managable if your diagnosis is confirmed so try not to worry.

Thanks Dierdre, that is very helpful and gives me some hope. After a week on Bethamethasone there is a slight improvement!

Thanks Joanie I will look out for the group x

Bethamethasone is stronger than Clobetasol so you should get some relief quite quickly and see some improvement within the next couple of weeks, carry on with the local estrogen as well.
