Lichen sclerosus treatment and care

Do you know the treatments for lichen sclerosus?

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic skin disease and therefore there is currently no cure.

If you think you may suffer from this disease, you should see a specialist in lichen sclerosus to make a definitive diagnosis and prescribe the most appropriate treatment for your case.

Fortunately, there are several treatment options to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

In general, the usual treatment is the use of topical steroid (corticosteroid) creams to reduce inflammation and itching. Emollient creams can soften the skin and therefore can also help to keep the skin moisturized and prevent dryness and cracking.

In addition, there are surgical options, such as circumcision (for males) or scar tissue reduction, which may be necessary in more severe cases.

In the case of women with vulvar lichen sclerosus (VSLE), for several years there has also been the

based on stem cells derived from the patient’s own fat, which gives extraordinary results.

Self-care to improve lichen sclerosus symptoms

In addition to treatments prescribed by a physician, there is some care that people with lichen sclerosus can do on their own to improve symptoms. These include:

  • Wear cotton underwear and avoid tight-fitting or synthetic fabrics.
  • Avoid using strong or perfumed soaps in the genital area.
  • Avoid shaving or depilation with blades.
  • Apply cold compresses to reduce itching.
  • Be proactive with genital cleansing to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Use Dermnix Oil which is 100% natural and is specifically formulated to alleviate the symptoms of lichen

If you are experiencing symptoms of lichen sclerosus, we recommend that you make an appointment with a lichen specialist as soon as possible as this is the person who can make an accurate diagnosis and work with you to find an effective treatment for you.
