A member asked:

Would applying clobetasol propionate (dermovate) on genitals for a short period worsen hpv condition? what are the side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might: But probably not. This is not for genital use unless you have lichen sclerosis. It can cause severe atrophy of this area.
