Fund research for a cure, support and to raise awareness of Lichen Sclerosus
Fund research for a cure for Lichen Sclerosus as currently is no cure for this painful debilitating skin condition. The Government should also increase funding to improve awareness and treatment of this condition.
There is currently no cure for Lichen Sclerosus only strong steroid ointments which put condition into remission at best. There is some evidence to suggest it may be an auto immune disorder. It mainly affects women but can affect men and children. Sufferers can live in pain and be affected physically and mentally, but it can be misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness and can increase the risk of certain cancers.
