Lichen sclerosus

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Lichen sclerosus for the last 3 years and have now been told that there is fusion of the skin. My next appointment will consist of Gynae, Derm and Surgeon.. Has anybody else had this happen? I'm 43

Maybe your gp and consultant can explain more 

Have a good think about everything you want to ask f8r your next appointment and write it down 

You may find some info on nhs website I'm not one for advising to look online but nhs is quite a good site

Hi @suz7895

Welcome to the community!

I just wanted to drop by, say hello and offer you some support with your query. 

I've heard of lichen sclerosus, but I don't know a lot about it, I'm afraid. I think you're right - there's not a great deal of awareness. Hopefully, they will be able to tell you a bit more at your next hospital appointment. When will you be going to see your specialists?

Also, you might want to check out the NHS website on lichen sclerosus at
