Agree with Sue. I have lichen sclerosis and have had it for 35 years or so. No cancer. The treatment is clobetasol ointment (not cream as ointment stays on longer considering we must urinate and wipe ). I was perscribed hormone vaginal tablets but refused them. The ointment twice a week for three weeks on one week off helped me a lot. I also take pregabalin max. dose and amitriptyline for pain. Works wonders for me.
I am on that now. It works for a while then after a few hours wears off. I was given a estrogen cream to use twice a week but that only made it worse. On my way now back to gyn for that and I'm having discharge usually bloody. Hoping it's only a bad uti.
