Hi Nel, Try this, Lichen sclerosus is a skin disease that occurs most often on the genital (vulva) area of women. The involved areas are often itchy. As the condition progresses bruising and pain may occur. Skin affected by lichen sclerosus is usually white and sometimes there is a fine, crinkling texture to it. If left untreated, lichen sclerosus can cause progressive scarring.
Hello,
You need to get the area biopsied to confirm the diagnosis. Apart from lichen sclerosus it can be lichen planus as well. It is an itchy papular eruption characterized by its violaceous color. Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin and the oral mucosa, and presents itself in the form of papules(flat spots) or rashes.
Hello,
From your symptoms penile vitiligo needs to be ruled out. The other possibility is of lichen sclerosus. It is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Diagnosis can be confirmed by external examination, blood tests to check skin cell count for melanocytes and biopsy of the skin patches.

After using the lotion the skin irritation looks (pics resemble lichen sclerosus) still irritated and tender to the touch i think due to the skin thinning. She thinks it may be Lichen Sclerosus (even though i am circumcised) and my question is that my appt is not for another 2 weeks due to the schedule of the dermatologist and I want to know if I can start using the clotrimazole again as the skin is tender on my glans where the skin is discolored.
I was biopsied for Lichen Sclerosus ( my mother had the condition and suffered for years). I saw a specialist and took 150,000 units of Vitamin D-3 for almost a year. The leading steroid is Clobetesol, which I loathe to take. My condition has not improved. Having intercourse is impossible--it feels as though a thousand needles are inside my body.
In addition, urinating is painful. Sitting is sometimes painful. I am totally miserable. PLEASE help!
Is LS a form of Vulvadynia?
Hello,
From your symptoms some possibilities like lichen sclerosus, Zoon’s balanitis and eryhroplasia or Querat need to be ruled out. Zoon’s plasma cell balanitis is a very benign condition and can easily be cured with the application of local steroid cream. Circumcision is also thought to help in the same. On the other hand, there’s another condition known as erthroplasia of queyrat. This is a more dangerous condition which signifies an underlying cancer.
Hello,
It can be balanitis xerotica or lichen sclerosus. Another possibility is of vitiligo skin. Lichen sclerosus is a chronic disease which effects usually the genital areas in postmenopausal women. The exact cause is not known and can be too active immune system and hormone problems. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed. Biopsy skin may be needed for this.
Hello,
It can be due to dryness of the area but if you notice any grey or white patches then lichen sclerosus should be ruled out. Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon disease of unknown cause that results in white patches on the skin, which may cause scarring, preferentually on and around genital skin.However it can cause ivory white dry patches on non genital areas also.
Confirmation can be done only after skin biopsy.
I would like to ask if this condition sounds to you like lichen sclerosus, and based on the sympoms which other skin conditions could cause these symptoms?
Thanks you.

Secondary labial adhesions may be due to estrogen deficiency, particularly in non-sexually active women after the menopause or gynecological conditions such as vulval lichen sclerosus, erosive lichen planus, Behcet syndrome, as complications of childbirth or from vulvectomy. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your gynecologist for proper evaluation. Treatment depends on the cause of the fusion. Take care and do keep us posted.
