How Can Lichen Sclerosus Be Treated?
Hi, Corticosteroid ointments or creams are commonly prescribed for lichen sclerosus. So, I would suggest you to continue using corticosteroid ointments. Other treatment options can be immune-modulating medications, such as Tacrolimus and ultraviolet light treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
