Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
These rashes are not related to lichen sclerosus.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid any new products like soap or perfume as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone and higher antihistamines like hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
