Dr. Kellogg Spadt:
It can often be a sign itching and/or plaque formation, which is like sheets of white skin on the vulva, can be an early sign of something called lichenoid dermatoses. There are many different types of lichenoid dermatitis. Some are lichen sclerosis, others, lichen planus and still others, lichen simplex chronicus. These are conditions, conditions of the skin of the genitals that can be easily managed once they are diagnosed properly. The take home message, if itching is persistent and/or accompanied by small cuts in the skin should always be investigated because it is never normal.
