Lichen Sclerosus

Lichen Sclerosus Treatment on Long Island

It’s an autoimmune disease affecting mainly the genital region. It can affect men and women, causing intense itching, ulceration, and scarring of the affected areas.

Women that are affected by Lichen Sclerosus or Planus, suffer physically from skin decoloration, and severe skin atrophy at the level of the clitoris that decreases the sensitivity and the ability to orgasm. If it happens at the level of the labia majora or vagina, they can’t have penetration. It can also cause constant itching, which causes bleeding and scarring. Also, this disease impacts their mental health, because women avoid any romantic relationship because of the constant irritation and the way their vulva looks.
