Hello, Anon!

Thank you for posting.

I am sorry, but we are not a referral service. You can ask your PCP (primary care physician) for a referral, or Google doctors in your area. Your local hospital might be able to refer you a specialist as well.

For the benefit of our readers, lichen sclerosus is a chronic condition that causes thin, white patches of skin, usually in the genital area. It usually affects the genital and anal areas.

Folliculitis appears as small, red, and sometimes painful bumps caused by bacteria that infect a hair follicle. It can occur on the labia majora. Shaving, waxing or friction is generally the cause.

best,

Helena
