Lightened Skin?

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have been having symptoms in my mouth since December 2019 and eventually was referred to see a Consultant at the hospital who diagnosed Oral Lichen Planus, though still awaiting a biopsy due to COVID-19 for definitive diagnosis. However, over the last couple of months I have started to experience intense redness around my Vulva area and some itching. Although this may be Lichen Planus, I do suspect its Lichen Sclerosis as these two conditions are common. What I wanted to ask was, have any of you had lightened patches of skin (pale whiteish)? As I have noticed a small patch on the outside near the perineum area and on one side inside of my labia.

    Hi Jackie,

    Yes, I had white spots near the perineum and when I used the steroid for a month, 2x a day, the white spots went away but then the redness and the pain started. The two conditions are related. What else have you tried?
