Lichen Sclerosus - Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition usually appearing on the genitals which is more common in women who have been through menopause, but it can occur regardless of gender or age. Although there is no cure, treatments are available to relieve the itchy or painful white patches of skin it can cause. If you think you might have lichen sclerosus or notice any changes to your skin, it’s always worth getting it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying causes.
