I have this patch of Irritating hypopigmentation on my labia since three years and now they're planning to take a biopsy first they thought it's only eczema . I'm scared about biopsy cause the area is already so irritated and painful I have a feeling the  biopsy won't heal.

Those of you who had LS can you please help me is it treatable? I mean I know the itching subsides with creams and aloe honey etc but DOES THE PATCH EVER GO AWAY? Does the appearance ever go back to normal the way it was???? This thing is shattering my confidence . Please help. If anyone ever healed from it completely ie The appearance went back to normal then please tell me how and In what way  in what time?? Does anyone have an idea can I get a skin graft or something ? Will that help? Is there anyway of diagnosing LS without biopsy ???

    Thank you all you guys sad I'm just scared for the biopsy I'm not good at healing and the review I read about a girl on this forum who had terrible pain after biopsy for eight months has scared me even more. I don't want to get a biopsy done sad 

    Let's see whT my dermatologist says on Monday. Please pray everyone that it turns out to be something treatable like eczema or something and I don't have to undergo a biopsy . I'm becoming a doctor myself I'm in final year but I feel so helpless .
