Montgomery: "Re: Treatment for lichen sclerosus et atrophicus" the treatment for lichen sclerosis is 2% testosterone cream. I tell patients to apply it to the affected area bid for a week,,once weekly after that for one to two weeks thnen once daily or less as needed to keep it in check .. to keep the symptoms down. some need to use it daily. most can go down to 3-5 times a week or even once to twice weekly. I have found everyone to be different. hyperplsia equals steroids lichen sclerosis equals testosterone. side effects.. I do see the dryness to the eyes at times..that bothers contact wearers at times. I counsel them on mild hirssuitism but have yet to see anyone get any darkened hair..any clitormegaly and the like. hope this helps. ps.. takes 4-6 weeks to see much effect so counsel the patient it takes time to see the change.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
