>I think the typical treatment for BXO (or lichen sclerosus) is using strong steroid cream (clobetasol, 0,05%) twice a day for three months. Has anyone any experience of using it for a longer period? Are there serious side-effects?
I'm not aware of any, but then again, possible (known) side-effects should be listed on a paper that comes with the medicine in the box. Other than that, I think you should consult either a pharmacist or your doctor about it.
