Lichen Sclerosus: Corticosteroid ointments or creams are commonly prescribed for lichen sclerosus. Initially, you'll generally have to use cortisone creams or ointments on the affected skin daily. After several weeks, your doctor will likely recommend that you only use these medications twice a week to prevent a recurrence. Your doctor will monitor you for side effects associated with prolonged use.

Yes: Both disorders skin tissue can be hard. Topical steroids, protopic, and vitamin d are meds used to treat these problems. See dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options.
