LICHEN SCLEROSUS

My team and I work with many women (and a few men) navigating life with Lichen Sclerosus (LS). This diagnosis is part of my own health history, and I know how incredibly difficult it can be on daily life, self-image, mental and emotional well-being, and partnerships, in addition to the physical pain and discomfort.

There are very few resources for LS, but we are a strong bunch, and more resources are popping up every day. Here you'll find the resources that I have found most helpful over the years, along with many I have created myself based on my personal experience as both a patient and practitioner.
