    could be yes, if you have itching and thick white discharge with no smell, get medicatiom from pharmacy or go to doctor and get a test 😃

    Hi Crazyitch

    you could have lichen sclerosus, it has the right coloration

      The white stuff mostly rubs off in the shower. It's not the colour of the skin. And the areas which appear white are not itchy. Can it still be LS? I asked my dermatologist and she said she's sure it's not LS. It's because of the persistent yeast infection.

      Hey, if it come off its a yeast infection, the photo were not very clear

      It doesn't come off entirely. But while bathing if I rub it a bit, some part of it comes off. This is the first time i am having a yeast infection. And it's been two months so i am really scared😔

      some yeast infections are hard to get rid of, you may have to try different ways of treating it, what have you used so far?

      I was prescribed wrong medication for almost 2 months. then my dermatologist asked me to take fluconazole. i have been taking it for 2 months(1 tab per week). I also asked my dermatologist about the white deposits. she said it happens sometimes when one has a persistent yeast infection and that it will go away on its own when the infection clears up.

      you should try the Antifungal pessary or the insertable cream

      Okay. Will give it a try. I feel better now. I was so scared it might be LS.

      The picture quality was really bad. That was my fault🥰. And LS has other symptoms, right? Like pain, tears etc

      you can get the tears from a yeast infection as well

      My culture came back negative. Can i still have a yeast infection?

      Yes. But i read somewhere that in chronic cases of yeast infection, yeast cells may or may not be seen.
