General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the lichen sclerosus pain is related to possible neurological tissue invasion or from scarring of extensive tissue fibrosis. Best pain relief can be obtained with intake of tramadol hydrochloride with acetaminophen to be consumed after meals with antacid tablets or syrup. In refractory cases, one may require a laser ablation or excision biopsy of particular segment of sclerosus part.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
