Symptoms of lichen sclerosus<\/h2>\n
For patients with mild lichen sclerosus, there are barely any major symptoms aside from the white patches on the affected areas. However, those with a more severe condition may experience some of the following symptoms;<\/p>\n
- \n
- rashes and redness,<\/li>\n
- severe itching,<\/li>\n
- tearing and bruises,<\/li>\n
- bleeding and blistering,<\/li>\n
- discomfort and pain,<\/li>\n
- painful sex.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Diagnosis of lichen sclerosus<\/h2>\n
A diagnosis of lichen sclerosis is best done by a doctor, and it\u2019ll typically be based on;<\/p>\n
- \n
- physical examination<\/li>\n
- removal of biopsy for examination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other times, a general doctor may refer a patient to a skin specialist for an adequate diagnosis, or a gynecologist if it\u2019s involving the female reproductive or genital area.<\/p>\n
Treatment of lichen sclerosus<\/h2>\n
For severe levels of lichen sclerosus, it\u2019s quite rare that it\u2019ll get better on its own. It\u2019s important to get treatments that\u2019ll reduce the itching and rashes, improve the redness and appearance, and reduce the chances of further scaring. It\u2019s also very common for patients to re-experience lichen sclerosus if it isn\u2019t properly treated the first time.<\/p>\n
Treatments of lichen sclerosus have different ranges, and it\u2019s usually determined by the severity of the condition. Moisturizers may be efficient for those who are experiencing it on an extremely mild level. Steroids take treatment to the next level, and it\u2019s efficient for more serious infections.<\/p>\n
Corticosteroids are creams and ointments that are made up of topical cortisone which are commonly used to treat skin like lichen sclerosus. Typically, the use of corticosteroids will be twice a day in the affected area. With time, it\u2019ll advance to a few times a week to avoid a case of recurrence.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s important to point out that this treatment should be done under the prescription and monitoring of a medical professional, especially regarding the side effects such as immunosuppression that can occur if there\u2019s long use of the topical corticosteroids.<\/p>\n
Stem Cell Therapy for Lichen Sclerosus<\/h2>\n
Stem Cell therapy doctors can treat the lichen sclerosis condition with SVF stem cell therapy via an injection deployment or IV. Once the stem cells have been harvested and absorbed into the system, they immediately begin to heal the damaged tissue in the skin. The stem cells in the skin work just like other areas of the body to repair damaged tissues during injuries or conditions.<\/p>\n
