The symptoms of LS are thinning skin, white patches of skin, itching and/or burning, painful sexual intercourse, and sores or lesions resulting from scratching. The nature of lichen's sclerosis is not fully studied yet; sometimes operations on cervical cancer can lead to lichen sclerosus.

Cervical Cancer, Lichen Sclerosus

If left untreated, LS can result in fusing of the skin, atrophy, and narrowing of the vagina. An increased risk of developing vulval or penile cancer is associated with this infection. The nature of lichen's sclerosis is not fully studied yet; sometimes operations on cervical cancer can lead to lichen sclerosus.
