A member asked:

I was recently diagnosed by my gynecologist with lichen sclerosis in the vagina and hyperkeratosis and benign hpv can u tell me if they will go away?

They can be treated.: Hpv can be treated effectively and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus also. However, the latter is often a chronic condition and can relapse.

Likely to improve: Lichen sclerosus requires treatment with high dose steroids at first, and may require ongoing treatment to prevent scarring. Hyperkeratosis will also respond to steroids. Hpv changes often go away on their own. Actual warts, if small, may go away on their own, or may require specific treatments; they are caused by hpv. Sounds as if you had a biopsy--and you should ask the doctor if you have ?S.
