Clobetasol not working?

Posted , 10 users are following.

Hi all,

I got diagnosed with LS 2 years ago and at that time I was prescribed clobetasol and my itching cleared up within 4 weeks.

However, now ive had a flareup for the past 4 weeks and haven't felt any better while using the clobetasol. I actually feel somewhat worse. I sent an email to my doctor last friday but havent heard back. I am not sure if i should quit the clobetasol or not.

im super bummed because i am supposed to go on vacation this friday 😦 i dont want to be miaerable with this constant itching!

Any advise would be greatly appreciated! especially to stop the itching!

    Try sitz baths with baking soda or borax, I find paw paw ointment is soothing use every day to stay lubricated try not to let things dry out.
