Clobetasol (Dermovate): Recommended 12 weeks - experience with that duration?

I have LP and/or LS on penis (near meatus). Doctor says, and everything I read, recommends Dermovate 2 times daily for 12 weeks and then taper. What was your experience on that 12-week regimen of clob?

I am through 3.5 weeks. I can't say it is dramatically better. The itch is gone (thankfully) but sex is still a problem (intercourse).

    Dude don't use clobetasol. It will thin your skin. Use protopic . I read experiments with humira(adalimumab). Contact another derm.

    It doesn't look or function any better after nearly 4 weeks on clob. It looks better when bandaged with lotion of clob but if I don't wear a bandage and lotion, it looks like this (after waking with it merely resting in underwear).

    Should I expect better results after 4 weeks? image
