Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
Vulvar lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin of the vulva that causes thinning, whitish patches, and changes in the texture of the area. It is not contagious and can appear at different stages of life.
Common symptoms: It usually causes intense itching, burning, dryness, and discomfort when urinating or during intercourse. Over time it can change the appearance of the vulvar tissues.
When to seek care? It is reasonable to seek care for persistent itching, pain, cracking, or color changes that do not improve, since appropriate follow-up helps care for the area.
Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the one who examines the vulva, guides the diagnosis, and proposes the most suitable follow-up for each patient. Discussing these symptoms with a professional allows the situation to be assessed on an individual basis.
