What is Lichen Sclerosis?
Lichen Sclerosis or Lichen Sclerosis is a chronic and inflammatory skin disorder that affects women, men and children, but is mostly common in women. Usually small white spots appear on and around the intimate areas, and occasionally the upper body as well. These spots develop into larger patches, which may become thin and crinkled. As a result, bruising occurs and the skin tears more easily, causing severe discomfort. Lichen Sclerosus has been linked to an auto-immune condition.
