Lichen Sclerosus
- Comprehensive care and advanced treatments to relieve symptoms and protect skin health.
Introduction
Personalised Care for Lichen Sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that can cause discomfort, itching, and changes in the skin’s appearance. It most commonly affects the genital and anal areas but can also appear on other parts of the body. While the exact cause is unknown, early intervention and expert management can help control symptoms and prevent complications.
Edgbaston Wellness Clinic provides expert-led treatment plans tailored to individual needs, ensuring effective symptom relief, skin protection, and long-term management.
Understanding Lichen Sclerosus and Its Impact
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the genital and anal areas, though it can appear on other parts of the body. It leads to white, patchy, and fragile skin that may become painful, itchy, or scarred over time. While it can affect both men and women, it is more commonly seen in postmenopausal women.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications, manage symptoms, and maintain skin integrity. Edgbaston Wellness Clinic provides expert evaluation, effective treatments, and ongoing support to help manage this condition.
What is Lichen Sclerosus?
Lichen sclerosus is an inflammatory skin disorder that causes thin, white patches of skin, itching, discomfort, and in some cases, pain or scarring. The exact cause is unknown, but factors such as immune system dysfunction, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition may contribute to its development.
If left untreated, lichen sclerosus can cause scarring, discomfort during sexual activity, and an increased risk of skin changes. Our specialist care ensures early detection, symptom relief, and long-term skin protection.
