It causes the skin to become discolored, thin, irritated and itchy. Blisters and sores may also form on the genitals. Rarely, these symptoms can appear on other parts of the body. • Untreated, lichen sclerosus can lead to scarring, which can make it difficult or painful to have sex, urinate or have a bowel movement. There is no cure for lichen sclerosus. Healthcare providers can treat symptoms, but they may return after treatment. People with lichen sclerosus have an increased risk of developing a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. • Symptoms include: • Itching and irritation: Vaginal itching and discomfort can be severe. Riding a bike or wearing tight clothing can make symptoms worse. In addition to an itchy vulva, you may feel burning in the vagina. • Skin changes: Small white spots may appear on the genitals. As the white patches grow, skin becomes white, smooth, shiny, thin or transparent. In women, these changes usually affect the skin around the vulva and the anus, making a figure-eight pattern. In men, the foreskin on the penis looks white and shiny. • Ulcers and sores: Blisters, fissures (cracks) and genital sores can develop, especially if you’ve scratched the area to relieve itching. The skin may bruise, crack and bleed with the slightest touch. • Scarring: Untreated, lichen sclerosus can lead to scarring around the vulva, anus or penis. Scarring can cause problems peeing or pooping (constipation), and it can lead to pain during sex. • Genetics and hormonal changes may also determine who gets the disorder. In some cases, lichen sclerosus develops after someone has experienced trauma, such as an injury or sexual abuse. Lichen sclerosus is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and it’s not contagious • treatment: • Topical medicine: Strong corticosteroid ointments and creams can relieve itching and inflammation. Follow your provider’s instructions about when and how to apply the medicine to your skin. • Phototherapy (light therapy): Providers use narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) light to treat lichen sclerosus. Using a special lamp, your provider shines a light on your skin over a series of several treatments. • Immunosuppressive medications: These drugs weaken the immune system so it no longer attacks healthy cells. • Circumcision: Uncircumcised men might need surgery to remove foreskin at the tip of the penis. Circumcision • prevention: • To reduce friction and irritation, you should: • Avoid horseback riding and long bike rides. • Wear loose-fitting underwear and clothing. • Use unscented soaps and laundry detergent. Avoid bubble baths — the suds can cause irritation that makes itching worse. • Change out of wet swimsuits and clothing right away. • if you like the video then don't forget to subscribe 🤳🤳🤳 to PCL Tutorial. • THANKYOU🙏🏻🙏🏻
