Hi Dear ,

As per your query your daughter has general lichen sclerosus , which is spreading on face . Well there can be many reasons for this condition like overactive immune system or an imbalance of hormones or trigger event, such as sunburn, stress or exposure to industrial chemicals . your doctor has prescribed right medicine that is immunosupressant and steroid ointment . But there can be other treatment options also like light therapy using UVB light , laser therapy an vitamin supplement like calcium supplement . There are certain home remedies which are also very helpful like basil leaves mixed with lime juice , radish seeds and turmeric paste .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
