You can relieve the itch of Lichen Sclerosis in the genital area by applying 99% or 100% pure aloe vera gel. I also use a spray of witch hazel about 8 oz, with three drops of tea tree oil, 5 drops of vitamin E oil, 5 drops of lavender essential oil and a capful of castor oil. I spray that on...let it dry a little or lightly pat it dry if I'm in a rush...and then just apply about 1/8 teaspoon of aloe vera gel. Works very well for me. Heals me, keeps me healed and the aloe vera gel keeps the itch away.

Hi. I wanted to add an update. The LS is a thing of the past. The aloe vera did the trick.

I have had LS for about 2 years. Applying apple cider vinegar locally provided a little relief, but not much. Lately, I tried two remedies that I found helpful, but aloe vera proved to be both a more effective and much easier to use.

I started doing sitz baths in water + bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). I basically put a laundry basket in my bathtub, added a few tablespoons of baking soda and just enough water to cover the affected part, and sat in it once a day for about 5 minutes. I must have looked like an idiot, but there was no one there to see it. :) It did relieve much of the itching.

Later I tried fresh aloe vera. It also relieved the itching, but felt milder and was less time consuming. Now I am using a gel I purchased from iherb that is 100% aloe vera. It's much easier to use since I don't have to cut up the fresh aloe each time. It also seems to be more effective - maybe because I'm putting it on more regularly.

So far it's not a cure, but does make the condition much, much more manageable.

Hello ladies! I am 34 years old and have been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus after visiting 3 dermatologists, 5 ginecologists and 7 patologies to read my biopsy (having 2 disputed diagnoses).. I have white patches on my vulva and sclerosus on my clit. I also have white patches on the inner side ot my cheeks, but they are not yet confirmed. Have any of you been diagnosed with lichen on both in the mouth and the vulva?

I have started applying 99% aloe vera creem twice a day on my genital area, I went on a no gluten and no sugar diet and I also take homeopathy. With these 3 I hardly have itching (stress is definately a trigger), one of the white patches is done, but my clit is still in pain, while having sex.

Have any of you treated the atrophy successfully and with what? I plan to take castor oil and start vitamin B, D and A.

Thank you for all the good advices given on this portal. In my country the treatment is with steroid creams or surgery :( I am really sorry to read so many women are suffering from this disease and I hope you all fine your best treatment!

Hi! I know this is a super old thread but I'm wondering if you could tell me the name of the aloe Vera gel you use? It's so hard to find a good pure one! Thank you so much!!
