Lichen sclerosus (LI-kun skluh-RO-sus) is an uncommon condition that creates patchy, white skin that's thinner than normal. Lichen sclerosus may affect skin on any part of your body, but most often involves skin of the vulva or skin around the anus.
Lichen sclerosus in genital area
When they do occur, lichen sclerosus symptoms may include:
- Itching (pruritus), which can be severe
- Discomfort, which is generally greater if lichen sclerosus appears on or around your genital or anal areas
- Smooth white spots on your skin that may grow into blotchy, wrinkled patches
- Tenderness of the affected areas of your skin
- Easy bruising or tearing
- In severe cases, bleeding, blistering or ulcerated lesions
- Painful intercourse
The uncomfortable itching and scarring that accompanies severe lichen sclerosus may narrow the vaginal opening and affect the ability or desire to have sexual intercourse.
If this sounds like what you have, you need to see a doctor, as there is no over the counter product that can take care of this. A gynecologist that specializes in pelvic( vaginal) reconstruction or a dermatologist(wouldn't be my first choice) is your best bet. I hope this helps you.

Which term describes a condition of severe itching of the external female genitalia?
One of the most common causes would be a yeast infection, also well known as "jock itch" (in men). It is caused by the area trapping moisture allowing the yeast that is normally present on your skin to get a foothold. Any area that is warm and moist for long periods of time (for example, the woman's genital area in hot humid weather especially with nylon underwear that doesn't dry quickly after sweating) is susceptible. Yeast infections are treated by keeping the area clean and dry and using anti-fungal creams or oral anti-fungal tablets prescribed by your gynecologist or doctor.But there can be other causes such as:* candidasis (vulvovaginal thrush) a common fungal infection in women treated with anti-fungal medications from your doctor.* pubic lice ("crabs"), You can actually see these tiny lice if you look closely enough. If you think you may have pubic lice, you should see your doctor or go to an STD clinic as soon as possible for treatment and further diagnosis (often other STDs are present in a lice-infected partner). * scabies,these are tiny mites that burrow under the skin. They can be detected by the signature red streaks that they cause. See a Dr. for immediate treatment of this highly contagiouscondition.* eczema usually treated with cortisonecreams.* prickly heat treated much like jock itch * allergy or contact dermatitis from new fabrics, laundry products, etc. * psoriasis, a doctor will need to prescribe treatment * STDs (usually ulcers are present and not just itching) Because itching can be a sign of more severe medical conditions such as diabetes, if itching is persistent or very intense, it is best to seek a diagnosis and treatment by a medical professional. Many of these conditions can also be transferred to a partner during sex, and a doctor will need to determine if your partner needs to take preventive measures and/or treatment. If your partner is not also treated, you will just continue to reinfect each other.
