Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2021;137:968–978) Vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS) is a dermatologic condition characterized by labial atrophy, hypopigmentation, and synechiae leading to pruritis and vulvar pain. Lichen sclerosus also is associated with a 3% to 9% incidence of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma that may be mitigated by adequate treatment.
