    Hi Justine

    This happened to me (aged 69). Within a few months of applying Oestrogen cream to my vulva about 5 times per week they plumped up again.

      Justine - I should have added that I am only using the oestrogen cream because I have had LS for about 1.5 years. The GP recommended Oestrogen for insertion into my Vagina, but that proved too big a dose for me, so I have resorted to applying the cream only to my vulva. I picked up advice about using the cream (it is called Estrace) in this way, rather than putting it up my vagina, was something I picked up from the International LS forums: go to groups.yahoo.com and search for Lichen Sclerosis

    Hi Justine

    I would wait until your use of Clob is a little less frequent.

    In another post I referred to an international Lichen Sclerosis group (it is a Yahoo group) which I tried to send a link for. The post has been held up by the Moderator checking it out. But in that group the founder recommended that when you are on once per day of Clob (or less frequently), then use the Oestrogen at night (so that it gets well soaked in) and the Clob in the morning to reduce chafing and irritation as you move about.
