Lichen sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic skin condition that most often affects the skin around the vulva and anus. It can cause intense itching, burning, dryness, pain, thin, fragile, whitish skin and small tears, and it can affect your sex life. The symptoms are often mistaken for thrush.
Early diagnosis and the right treatment matter, because they help stop it getting worse. Effective treatment is available. Lichen sclerosus can’t be cured, but it can be treated and kept under control. Treatment is usually a steroid cream applied to the skin, which calms inflammation and protects the skin.
At GYNSTUDIO we offer thorough assessment, treatment and follow-up in a safe, respectful setting.
