Does lichen sclerosus go away?
Although there’s no cure for lichen sclerosus, there are treatments that can help. If you have it on your genitals, you should get it treated, even if you don’t have symptoms. When left untreated, it can lead to problems with sex or urination. Patches on other parts of the body usually go away with time.
What happens if you don’t treat lichen sclerosus?
Without treatment, the scratching associated with lichen simplex chronicus can lead to a bacterial skin infection. It also can cause permanent scars. Lichen sclerosus can be a risk factor for skin cancer and vulvar cancer. This is why it’s important to see your doctor if you have signs or symptoms.
How long does it take for lichen sclerosus to go away?
Generally, a 30g tube should last for around three months. When used appropriately, the risk of side effects such as thinning of the skin is very low. Symptoms tend to ease after a few weeks of treatment, but it may be a few months before your symptoms are fully under control.
