What Is Lichen Sclerosus?
4. What Are the Types of Lichen Sclerosus?
Medical conditions often consist of several different subtypes, but not lichen sclerosus. It’s a similar disease in everyone who gets it, but the one difference is the location of the patches.
Women are most affected by vulvar lichen sclerosus, but it can also appear on the breasts or torso. Men often notice it on the foreskin area of the penis. Other areas it might appear include the breasts, anus, outer thighs, and upper body.
