Outcome domains in lichen sclerosus

Goodrum, C.A.; Leighton, P.A.; Simpson, R.C.

Abstract

Lichen Sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis predominantly affecting the genitals. It can affect men, women and children. LS affecting female genitalia typically presents with itchy patches that impact on physical and psychosocial‐sexual functioning1,2. Symptoms in men include difficulty urinating due to urethral narrowing, difficulty in foreskin retraction due to scarring, and dyspareunia. Complications include loss of anatomy and malignant transformation.
