Abstract

Lichen Sclerosus (LS) is a benign, chronic progressive disease which affects skin. It is characterized by inflammation, epithelial thinning, and some dermal changes. The main symptoms are pain and pruritus. Basic treatment consists of patient education and topical corticosteroids. Most patients respond well to corticosteroids. When this treatment is ineffective, other treatment options can be applied and recently, Erb:YAG laser is seen as a treatment method for vulvar LS.
