Introduction
Not everyone has itch as a symptom of lichen sclerosus. However, if it is a symptom of yours, you know how absolutely miserable this can be. For today’s video, I share 10 tips for managing itch with lichen sclerosus. Let us know in the comments what your favorite tips are.
To be transparent, this post is not evidence-based. Instead, the tips I share are either tips that work for me or tips I have heard from others.
