How to use clobetasol propionate for lichen sclerosus?

Clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment should be applied thinly to affected areas, usually once daily for up to 12 weeks, then less frequently for maintenance. Always follow your specialist’s instructions and avoid overuse.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Clinical trials confirm the efficacy of clobetasol when used as prescribed. Maintenance dosing reduces relapse. See NICE BNF and British Association of Dermatologists.
