10 Symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus
Symptom #8: Tearing
Although soft and flexible, our skin is also tough enough to withstand the rigors of everyday life. The occasional bumps and abrasions are of little concern and will cause little damage to flexible skin, if any. For some people, though, even the slightest of knocks can result in considerable tears in the skin.
Lichen sclerosus can cause the skin to tear quite easily as it can become very thin. It can also lead to bruising from even the slightest of knocks. Those with the condition may need to be extra careful to prevent causing themselves any harm and they may have to sit out on certain activities.
