Persistent vulval lichen planus - Dermovate use?
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 9:50 am
I'd like to ask a question about lichen planus, if that's all right. I've had vulval lichen planus for about 5 years and have twice been referred to the dermatologist - I'm 73. At the moment I'm following the dermatologist's advice and using Dermovate daily for a month, then twice a week for a month until it clears. Using this regimen I can get the area clear, but 5-6 weeks later - even using copious amounts of emollient - it returns and I have to start all over again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I feel uncomfortable, even though there is little to see. Can the rash spread inside the vagina?
Given that I only seem to get a few weeks respite before the rash comes back, would it be a good idea to use the Dermovate twice a week, regularly, in order to keep the rash under control? I'd appreciate your advice.
