It is excellent advice, but only IF you believe that you should continue using Clob on areas that you have seen white patches in the past.
I don't do that, I dont believe we should be putting Clob on areas that show no signs of white plaques, (clear areas) it just doesn't make sense to me, especially when the cream is potent. I used the Clob when I was first diagnosed, it cleared up the white plaques quickly. I then continued to use the Clob twice a week because that was what I was advised to do, mainly from people on this site, because we are doing what many of the doctors are doing, guessing and experimenting. However, I decided to stop that, and I have had no re ocurring white plaques, and it has been over a year now.
What I do believe in is the routine of spraying, dabbing dry and applying some kind of oil after bathroom visits, that makes sense to me.
Remember, I am talking about women that have no visible sign of LS but feel like they should continue using the Clob.
I'm confused. I don't have white plaques anymore. Very quickly after using my betamethasone valerate my white patches disappeared. But I continue to have itching problems. Comes and goes. So should I not be using any steroid where I haven't had white plaques even if I have the itching at times at other places?
It is confusing, and a bit complicated because we all react differently to treatment. But, I firmly believe that using such a strong cream as a preventative measure is uncalled for, if you have no visible sign of LS on your vagina. This, of course, is my opinion. I also happen to believe that for women experiencing itching, it is firmly down to their diet, probably Sugar, Gluten, or Dairy, again, my opinion, but based on experience too.
It is important to remember that for some women cutting out sugar is not enough, and so they are going to have to look at other areas that may be causing the problem. I know I wouldn't be happy to put up with that constant itching. Concerning yourself, I would be asking myself how long have I been using the Clob, has the itching stayed at the same level, or is it less, is it working for me? If not, then as I said, it's highly likely your diet.
Hi is the hydromol the same as the one you can wash with.
