10 Symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus
Symptom #7: Wrinkled Patches
We tend not to get wrinkles until we reach our middle ages at least. This is largely down to the decrease of collagen in the skin that helps to give skin its natural elasticity. Wrinkled patches of skin can also be caused by a variety of conditions, including lichen sclerosus.
In addition to becoming wrinkly, the skin can also become blotchy in areas. These are fairly clear signs that you could have lichen sclerosus and they could help a medical professional reach a correct diagnosis. It can also be a sign of something more serious, and it is best to be safe and get it checked out to be sure.
