Steroid use and VIN

Can I safely use steroid ointment on the area where VIN has been found? LS was found to be there also following a biopsy
Many thanks

Re: Steroid use and VIN

Thank you for your question. The LS does need to be treated with topical steroid and this is fine in the context of VIN but the VIN may need treating too so please see your doctor.
