Lichen Simplex Chronicus
Lichen simplex chronicus is a thickening of the skin that appears as a response to repeated scratching or rubbing of the same area over a long time.
Common symptoms: Plaques of thick, rough skin with marked lines, accompanied by intense itching that invites continued scratching.
Common causes: The cycle of sustained itching and scratching is the driver of the problem, and it may be associated with dry skin or previous irritations.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist, including pediatric dermatologic care, is the one who usually evaluates these lesions, and the gynecologist may take part when they affect genital areas. Breaking the scratching cycle with the support of a professional is the most sensible path.
