Lichen Sclerosus

Pathology

Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the genital areas but can also occur in other parts of the body. It causes the appearance of small white patches that can become itchy, inflamed, and painful. The condition is more common in women but can also affect men and children. The exact cause of Lichen Sclerosus is unknown, but it is believed to be a result of an immune system disorder. The disease can be managed with treatments that alleviate symptoms and control inflammation, but there is no definitive cure.
