More white patches....what to do now

Posted , 9 users are following.

I am down to Clob once a week and three months of use altogether. Overall I am feeling ok but today I feel a little itch (nothing unbearable) and I think there are a few white spots that weren't there before. Should I apply Clob a little more frequently right now or continue with the once a week? Sorry, I am still a little confused. Thanks!

    I was at the same point, except unexpectedly started to lose my labia around my clit. They were just melting away and at an alarming rate! I had noticed before that they seemed thin and curled at the top, so I laid off the steroid for over a week and continued to apply emu oil faithfully, spray with soda water and apply Vaseline at night. Things improved and I have had no further melting. No itch, and my labia skin is getting fuller, although the missing parts have not returned. I was not recommended a maintenance dose by my doc, but had been applying one since it seemed to be an effective method for keeping the condition at bay. I tried a maintenance dose again a week later and things got irritated again. It has been 2 and 1/2 weeks since I have applied clob. I have very light white patches that did not fade completely though use of the clob, but only one area itches occasionally and not very badly at all. When it does, I clean it well to make sure nothing is on the skin to irritate it and apply emu oil. I think that the clob is so helpful for reducing a flare, but perhaps sometimes it can irritate/damage the unaffected skin. I check daily for changes and follow all other maintenance suggestions here and I am basically symptom free. The hard part with this disorder is that everyone's case is different.
