Severe Itching With Vitiligo. Is There A Non-medical Treatment?

I have severe itching with Vitiligo. I would like to know what type of non-medical treatment I can use to ease the itch. Currently I have found that aloe vera with lidocaine, used for sunburns will ease it up a bit. I also have vitiligo on female genitalia and to say it is makes me insane with itching is an understatement. Do you know of anything that I can use to make it stop or ease up?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Hello you are not suffering from vitiligo.

Vitiligo doesnot itch.

You are probably suffering from a condition called as Lichen sclerosis.

It is characterised by white patches which are severely itchy.

Let me know you have any other doubts.

Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis.
