Read that colour changes (white patches) may not go away; How to tell if LS is in remission?
Posted , 9 users are following.
I read that sometimes colour changes may not be reversible. In that case, how do you know if the LS is in remission and the colour change is just permanent?
The general guidelines seem to include a tapering of clobetasol to either as needed or a less frequent application but I'm confused as to how to tell whether LS is in remission if the discolouration can be present even after symptoms resolve.
I am new to this stuff, and it seems that the amount of information is often conflicting! Thanks!

I'm 63 and at my last appointment my gynae said that this faded coloring is normal for my age. The time before she told me that the hard yellowish lumps just inside my vagina are also normal for my age. So, bottom line – if you're not inflamed with raw, red, sore, itchy or swollen areas and you don't have any tears, it's good.

Very interesting as I've wondered the same thing. I have white patches which don't itch and what appears to be normal skin areas that do itch. From a biopsy I was diagnosed with LS on the non white patch and hyper keratosis on the White patch.
I've been using Betnovate now for 1 month and the itch has reduced (plus aloe Vera essence) but the white patches have remained. I don't know if the White will go away or not so I've been using the cream daily. Not sure if I should reduce or not.
I'm 44 so I wouldn't have thought age was a factor for me just yet... But maybe. Interesting that you had the little white spots as so did I. The dermatologist thought it was warts caused by the Dermovate I used first and froze one of them off. It took about 3 weeks for the pain from that little spot to subside after the freeze. I didn't think it was a wart from google images. I do wonder what it is.

I am so terrible with stress management and have been going through an incredibly stressful time. I wonder if that could be what has triggered this.
