external wash for vulvar lichen sclerosis

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know a good external wash for lichen sclerosis of the

vulvar? or how it is described in TCM? It appears to me not to be

a Damp-Heat problem because there is no discharge, it is itchy dry

and flaky. Is there a diagnosis of Dry-Heat in TCM? My patient is

qi xu with some blood stagnation and Bi zhen [expressed as myalgia

and haemachromatosis]. Internally I am treating her with a formula

based on a combination Si jun zi tang and Shu jing huo xue tang

which successfully addresses her tiredness and pain but has no impact

on the sclerosis. Any advice welcomed.

Thanks
