I agree that not all gynecologists know about lichen sclerosus or if they do, they don't want to deal with the anal region.
I have LS presenting in classic keyhole shape around the vagina and anus. I have seen 2 gynecologists and neither one looked beyond the perinium in their examination nor did they include the anus as part of the discussion regarding treatment. I am waiting to have my first appointment with a dermatologist soon as I'd like to make sure that area is looked at as well. I also have lichen planus in other areas of my body and so I want a dermatologist to see all the skin conditions that I have because at present they are farmed out to different professionals who don't speak to each other.
As for itching after bowel movements, I find that I have to keep the area scrupulously clean to avoid the itchiness. Proactively, lots of water, exercise and fibre keep things regular without straining which can lead to anal fissures. Those can be painful as each movement will reopen the wound. The steroid cream is necessary to keep LS under control.
I hope you find relief and an accurate diagnosis soon.
