Recently diagnosed

I recently was diagnosed with LS at a routine well-woman exam based on some white patches of skin. I don't otherwise have any symptoms of pruritus or pain. Is it possible to have LS without itching, or could it be something else?

Although itching is the main symptom for most people with lichen sclerosus, it is not always a problem. Lichen sclerosus can quieten down and need little in the way of long-term treatment, but it would be good to be medically examined to be certain that all is quiet.
