Does lichen sclerosus itch when it is healing?

Any skin condition can cause itching until completely cured. Any healing process of the skin stimulated the nerve ending , as any wound.

Lichen sclerosus is usually very itchy until it reaches a burnt out and scarred state. A potent corticosteroid ointment like clobetasol can mitigate the itchiness,however.
