A member asked:
How many times a day can i apply clobetasol 0.05% ointment for lichen sclerosis? is there anything stronger? apparently i have a bad case of it right now that spread?

Depending on the severity and location of your lichen sclerosis, clobetasol oint. may be applied as often as twice per day. I would consult with your dermatologist about this specific treatment since this topical steroid is extremely potent. There might be other treatments that may help if your disease is severe and spreading.
