Lichen Sclerosus

Lichen sclerosus causes thin, white, fragile patches of skin, most often in the genital area. Symptoms include itching, burning, pain, and, over time, scarring and architectural change.

It is a chronic condition that deserves ongoing care, both for symptom relief and because affected skin carries a small increased cancer risk. Potent topical anti-inflammatory therapy is highly effective when used correctly.
