Laser in treating lichen

Lichen slerosus et atrophicus is the state which cause is not known.

It is most probably immunological and hormonal. It appears mostly but not necessarily in later age. Some white spots on external genitals are shown, on labia majora and labia minora, around the anus. The skin is thinned, itching is often expressed and the skin cracks. These problems have a significant impact on the quality of patient life.

It has been treated so far with some creams but with limited effect.

Lately, the laser with special installments has been used for these treatments. At first treatment is conducted by eribium laser and then by neodimium laser. After this treatment one can carry on with corticosteroid creams per certain diagram.

Control is scheduled in four weeks time, if necessary earlier.
