How Can Lichen Sclerosus Be Treated?
I have been diagnosed with lichen sceloris and would like more information . I can t take the steroid because it gives me yeast infection,and the Dr won t address it . I have been using emuaid MAX and it works great but is expensive. Is there any thing el;se that might work. I have broken out in my upper chest and neck and I believe it is the lichen since it can move to other parts of the body,

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,
