Pale/white areas in vestibule NSFW

Hi,
Is it normal for these areas to be white/pale? I feel that some days they look more pale than what is shown in the pictures. I thought it was my papillae covered in discharge but its not… I also feel that it gets itchy.

Please tell me what you all think, I am worried sick that it could be LS.
(I was treated for BV & then yeast infection almost a month ago)
The last picture is what it looked like May4th, maybe I am tripping but it didn’t look as pale/white as yesterday or even today.

Its three sides, the left labia, right labia and middle area that looks like this.

Thank you kindly,
J

Hi all,
After reading people stories and going down rabbit holes about LS, I think I have made myself sick and hopeless…
I want to share what I am going through because I have so many questions and my gyn didn’t answer any… maybe I should ask for a second opinion?

I started off with an itch that would come and go, and after pointing out the area to the gyn she said it looked like LS (the area looked dry and when moisturized it looked better) she prescribed triamcinolone0.025%. She left the room and that was all. I didn’t get to ask anything and also I didn’t really know what to ask.
After that I started the steroid-pea sized amount based on what I’ve read & been examining myself almost daily and just yesterday I saw an actual white patch in my labia minora… I was terrified because it looks like the google images of LS patches and I can see a tiny pinpoint hole in that area. That was enough confirmation that it is indeed LS.

I am not sure if the triamcinolone is strong enough, but I applied some to it.. I just don’t know if I should request for a stronger ointment- clob as I been reading is the gold standard..
I don’t even know If I should go back to her for this. Its all making me sick and Ive not been eating and been having a headache and crying about it… I’m sorry.
I have so many questions still. Does anyone have a good referral to an LS Specialist/LS dermatologist /LS gyn in NYC ? PLEASE.
