I've been stressed out for quite a while now im 17 and I think I have LS . The patches are in my private area I dont exactly know how to describe the area lool & is very itchy ... they rise and go down and I dont know what to do. I have been very emotional because of the pictures I have seen online of how this skin condition can change your V structure.

    Hi, please try to get in to see a doctor and hopefully get some treatment started. in the meantime, try not to stress and I know its harder said than done. Also try baking soda bath to help the itch and coconut oil after. I too get emotional with this disease because of the changes and disappearance of the vulva. This forum has been so helpful and please know your not alone.

    Take care!

    Hi Samantha,

    Where are the white patches and haven't you seen any doctor or nurse for this yet? If not, you can go to the drug store and get hydrocortisone ointment as well as to the grocery and get unrefined, organic, expeller pressed coconut oil. The former is to decrease inflammation and the latter to soothe. Do write and tell us how you're doing. biscuit
