ABSTRACT
The treatment for desquamative inflammatory vaginitis has been the use of intravaginal corticosteroids: 12.5 mg vaginal suppositories inserted twice a day for 2 months7. This is followed by the administration of 12.5 mg vaginal suppositories once a day for 2 months and then maintenance therapy of 12.5 mg intravaginal suppositories one to three times a week7. When Sobel treated 51 patients with 2% clindamycin intravaginal suppositories, more than 95% of his patients achieved improvement but 30% relapsed.
