Suggest Treatment For Scarred Vulva, Narrowed Opening And Lichen Sclerosus

My daughter has lichen sclerosis. Today she was told by the gynecologist that the vulva is scarred and the opening has narrowed. She is very upset as she believes she will not be able to have a relationship again. She is using a cream and has been prescribed another one in addition too. How can she hold onto some hope for the future? How can I help her? This is her Mom.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Lichen sclerosis is an inflammatory condition that can cause scarring.

It may respond to strong topical steroids, these work in some persons. Medications such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus have also been helpful for some persons.

It is possible that one of these options may help her and would not limit her.

I hope this helps
