Does anybody have experience with treating this disease while breastfeeding? 

I’m exclusively breastfeeding my 10 month old son and today I received a visual diagnosis of LS and will have a biopsy in the coming weeks to confirm. I’m curious as to the effects of the steroid cream on my breast milk because I see conflicting information online in regards to the safety of the strong steroids while breastfeeding. Any information would be great!

    best person to ask is your doctor, also read the leaflet that comes with . If you have serious concerns, contact the steroid cream company directly and get it confirmed by email.
