I have an app't with vulva specialist in three weeks. I stopped using the clobetasol because I didn't want it to interfer with biopies.  Most things I have read say not to use it prior to app'ts. But my clitoris is changing rapidly with scarring and becoming smaller...no itcing. I have read that some ladies believe the steroid makes the clitoris worse with scarring.  I am using lots of emollients.  Should I use the steroid on the clitoris before seeing the specialist in three weeks?

    I hate this disease too! we had a female boarder live here years ago. Hated the plain white underwear that went thru the laundry for her! And now it's me... Ugly white underwear...So boring for such a sad reason! Oh well.. Comfort first.

    I love emuaid!! Relieves the itching. Also find extra virgin olive oil so comfortable.
