    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Dermatology

    Background:

    • Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Anogenital involvement is common in pediatric cases, presenting with symptoms like pruritus and burning.

    Observation:

    • A 6-year-old girl presented with a 3-month history of vulvar pruritus and burning on urination.
    • Biopsies confirmed lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) localized to the anogenital region.

    Findings:

    • Treatment with topical hydrocortisone cream led to asymptomatic status within 4 months.
    • Coalesced white plaques persisted despite symptom resolution.
    • Symptom relief is the primary therapeutic goal, achievable with topical hydrocortisone and management of vaginal discharge.

    Implications:

    • Topical hydrocortisone is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic pediatric anogenital LSA.
    • Complete resolution is frequent in children, though residual skin changes may occur.
    • Early intervention and symptom management are key in pediatric LSA cases.
