Lichen sclerosis doesn’t cause a smell.
It could be due to a fungal infection.
I would recommend you apply topical antifungal like Miconazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 2 weeks and take antifungal like tablet Fluconazole 200 mg single dose stat.
This should help in resolving your problem.
