To ease your lichen sclerosus symptoms, you can:
- Add a few inches of warm water to your bathtub and relax. A bath can help with discomfort caused by itching and scratching.
- Talk to your doctor about over-the-counter antihistamine skin creams to help with any discomfort.
- Avoid tight clothing, perfumed genital sprays, harsh skin cleansers, and scented dryer or fabric sheets.
- Try wearing cotton underwear during the day and no underwear when sleeping at night.
