10 Symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus
Symptom #2: Rash on Genitals
Rashes can appear pretty much anywhere on the surface of the skin. You can be affected in small areas from the head to the toes or, in some cases, your entire body might be covered. However, specific conditions can cause rashes in specific locations, helping doctors to pinpoint the cause.
Rashes caused by lichen sclerosus are most likely to appear on the genitals and around the anus. Some might find it embarrassing but you should tell the doctor and maybe also let them examine the area to help them reach a diagnosis. While the genitals and anus are the most common locations for the rash, it can also occur on the breasts, upper arms, and upper body.
