Does Lichen Sclerosus always start with white patches?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Little back story, December 2019 I had white patches and occational itching, went to GYN she thought it was LS. But I was breastfeeding at the time, she said that sometimes breastfeeding causes weird skin changes. She prescribed me cream, i used it and everything went back to normal. In Feb i stopped breast feeding but continued to use my cream until April, she wanted me to go off of it to see what happend. Well its been almost 5 months now off of the cream and everything looks normal and I've had zero issues, until the other day. Ive occationally been having slight itching. Do you think its LS?

I have never had white patches. my symptoms were itching then 'buzzing' then slow fusing of labia. After a time of getting nowhere with advice from first doctor, gynaecologist diagnosed LS on examination. I have never had a biopsy. Hard to say whether you have it from what you have described but if you are itching again I would definitely recommend seeing doctor again. Sometimes we have to pester to get a proper diagnosis.

does your skin thin? if so what is that like? I cant tell the difference between normal and thinned skin.
Also what is your treatment plan?
