For lichen sclerosus treatment, your doctor will probably give you a steroid cream to put on the problem area. This can stop the itching, gut it may take weeks or months for the skin to look more normal.
You may need to use these creams or ointments for a long time to keep the condition from coming back.
You’ll need to keep up with your doctor appointments, since long-term use of steroid creams or ointments can redden or thin your skin. The treatment can also cause genital yeast infections.
