A member asked:

I'm diagnosed with lichen sclerosis about six years ago. is there any cure for this condition?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Topical clobetasol is very effective. Since you have had it so long, you should be checked for squamous cell carcinoma in this area. See a gyn or dermatologist.
