What is lichen sclerosus?
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic skin condition characterised by white, shiny patches on the skin in the anal and genital areas.
The patches can become itchy and broken, causing significant discomfort to the patient. The condition may cause pain during sex and urination, menstrual problems and scarring if left untreated.
The Causes of Lichen Sclerosus
This distressing skin condition can be caused by several factors, including the following:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Hormonal imbalances
- Genetics
- Diabetes and obesity
- Irritation of the fragile tissues of the intimate areas
Lichen sclerosus is more common in women, but it can also affect men and children.
How will I know if I have lichen sclerosus?
Lichen sclerosus presents with several noticeable symptoms.
These include:
- Small white areas of skin which may join create a larger patch.
- Cracked and sore patches of skin
- Itchiness, which may get worse at night
- Fragile, thin skin or thick, wrinkly skin
- Red or purple blood blisters on the skin
- Pain during sex, urination or while passing stool
However, it is essential that you receive a definitive diagnosis from a dermatology consultant or lichen sclerosus specialists who can verify that you have the condition.
Vulval disease
Most lichen sclerosus patients are women, and the area around the vagina and anus is often affected.
Even the wearing of sanitary pads and underwear can cause or exacerbate this painful condition.
Careful diagnosis by an expert in vulval dermatology or a specialist in lichen sclerosus is vital, as there are other conditions that affect the vulva and genital area that can appear similar.
These include benign skin conditions like lichen planus and vulval intraepithelial neoplasia, which carries a small risk of developing into cancer if left untreated.
