None:
A patient with vulvar lichen sclerosus bravely shares her experiences living with this hidden, painful, life-altering and potentially stigmatizing vulvar condition. Complemented by a clinician's perspective on the complexities of managing such patients, this piece aims to illuminate the many psychosocial challenges posed by lichen sclerosus. Through this dual narrative, we seek to deepen providers' knowledge of the impact lichen sclerosus has on patients' lives and the nuanced care required to support them.
