HI,
My skin was white as snow and yes the Dermovate did make it go pink again. It too about three months though. I applied some the other day as it was going shiny again and the colour has come back. I only use a maintenance dose now after having L S diagnosed 2016.

about one fortnightly small pea size amount. I find that that is enough. I got told to treat it like my excema cream as maintenance. I did use it alot more but things have calmed down alot. I still get burning sometimes if I do I take that as to mean I need to apply some. I keep a check on how things look.

I've been using clob for about 6 months now. My patch was fully white, it's shrunk in size and is much pinker. I can still see it and it is paler than the rest of my skin, though. I'm not sure what an appropriate 'maintenance' dose is for me either. I'm doing twice a week at the moment. I've noticed if I do less than this, I get slight itching.

My skin was really white from around my clitoris, down my labia, and around my anus. I used Clobetasol every night before bed - and at my 6 month follow-up appointment - my white patches were all completely gone. 😃 So it took less than 6 months for me

I am on a maintenance dose of 3x's a week with dermovate (clob). I find that this keep everything pink, but if I drop down to 2x's a week then when I go to apply the second time I can see the white patch coming back. I dont know if this is normal. I know there are people that are able to apply every few weeks, but if I did that everything would be white.
