What Is Lichen Sclerosus & How Does It Work?
Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause itching, burning, and discomfort—particularly in the vulva, anal region, or foreskin. It is not contagious and is not a sexually transmitted infection. Though the exact cause is unknown, it may be related to immune or hormonal factors.
At Géniale, we understand how physically and emotionally challenging this condition can be. While there is currently no cure, treatment options can help manage symptoms, reduce irritation, and support healthier tissue over time.
We offer laser-based therapy (such as Fotona®) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) options, which may assist in reducing symptoms such as tearing or irritation. Suitability is determined through a clinical consultation.
