Lichen Sclerosus Treatments
in Columbia, MD
If you're dealing with itching, pain, or skin changes in the genital area, you may be facing lichen sclerosus — a chronic condition that’s more common than you think.
Our clinic offers expert lichen sclerosus treatments in Baltimore, Maryland, tailored to provide real relief and long-term skin health.
​
What Is Lichen Sclerosus? ​
Lichen sclerosus is an inflammatory skin condition, often affecting the vulva or anal area. It causes patches of thin, white skin that may itch, tear, or scar over time.
Without proper treatment, it can lead to long-term discomfort and even increased cancer risk in rare cases.
How Do Lichen Sclerosus Treatments Work?
After a clinical evaluation and confirmation (sometimes via biopsy), we design a personalized plan that may include:
-
High-potency topical steroids
-
Hormone replacement for postmenopausal patients
-
Immune-modulating creams
-
Laser therapy to improve skin texture and elasticity
-
Supportive care such as vulvar moisturizers and hygiene education
We aim for long-term symptom control and skin protection — not just temporary relief.
What Concerns Can Lichen Sclerosus Treatments Address?
-
Chronic vulvar itching or burning
-
White, shiny, or wrinkled skin patches
-
Pain during sex or urination
-
Tearing or cracking of the skin
-
Emotional distress related to chronic symptoms

When Will I See Results? How Long Do They Last?

While flare-ups are common, they can be treated quickly when caught early.
What to Expect from the Treatment Process
We begin with a private consultation and full vulvar skin exam. If needed, a biopsy is performed. From there, you’ll receive a step-by-step treatment plan, with education on home care and frequent follow-ups to monitor progress.
