Clobetasol causing pimples?

Hi there! I've been using Clobetsol for about 6 weeks. It has helped so much with the itching, but I keep getting what looks like pimples on my labia minora and they are extremely painful. My gynecologist saw one and said it looked like a small pimple and had a head on it that would pop. That one went away and I've had 2 more since then (one every 1.5 weeks). I read that clob can cause pimples and was wondering if anyone else has had this? Thank you for your help!

    Hi Sally, Years ago I regularly had boils inside my labia minora.  At the time I didn't know I had LS, that was diagnosed years later.  I have a feeling that for some of us we are prone to boils/spots on our undercarriage.  That is the only thing I can think of that might be what is going on with you.
