What’s Safe Care for Vulvar Skin Conditions (Eczema, Psoriasis, Lichen Sclerosus)?
-
External-only routine: water → mild fragrance-free cleanse (optional) → thin layer of petrolatum or zinc oxide.
-
Avoid fragrance, dyes, harsh surfactants, essential oils, scrubs, powders, and deodorant sprays on the vulva.
-
Moisture and friction management are as important as products.
-
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is medical—get diagnosed and treated, then use bland emollients as supportive care.
