By Mayo Clinic staff

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.
