Keep the area clean and dry and apply OTC hydrocort ointment for a week or so. If not better pl see a Urologist. Self diagnosis is dangerous and from your description the diagnosis is wrong. Good luck

White sticky patches are more suggestive of a yeast infection than lichen sclerosus which is usually dry and extremely itchy. Yeast infection in the genitals can be passed back & forth between sexual partners. Cortisone cream or ointment can worsen a yeast infection so it behooves you to get examined for a proper diagnosis. See your physician, urologist or dermatologist.
