What Is Lichen Sclerosus?
8. Is Lichen Sclerosus Associated with Other Medical Conditions?
Autoimmune diseases are frequently associated with lichen sclerosus, but it’s not clear as to whether they are co-occurring conditions or if lichen sclerosus is a separate autoimmune condition. You’re at greater risk for developing an autoimmune disease if you have lichen sclerosus.
Lichen sclerosus is most often found in postmenopausal women, so you might be wondering about the men with this uncommon condition. Men who are uncircumcised have a higher chance of getting these irritating white patches. They usually show up on the foreskin and are associated with urinary conditions.
