Holistic Management for a Chronic Condition

Lichen sclerosus is a long-term inflammatory vulval skin condition that can cause itching, soreness, splitting and scarring, but symptoms are often well controlled with the right treatment plan and ongoing care. Your first visit is focused on confirming the diagnosis, starting the recognised first-line treatment with a strong prescription steroid ointment plus regular moisturising and gentle skin care, and then setting a clear maintenance and follow-up plan to reduce flare-ups and protect the vulval skin over time.

Confirm the diagnosis safely with a gentle assessment, plus swabs when infection is possible, and biopsy if the diagnosis is uncertain or if changes need checking.
Settle inflammation and symptoms using the first-line approach, usually a strong prescription steroid ointment used regularly at the start, alongside moisturisers and soap substitutes to protect and soothe the area.
Prevent flare-ups and protect skin structure with a personalised maintenance plan, practical trigger reduction and ongoing review, as many women need long-term maintenance to keep symptoms controlled.

Regeneration Meets Anti-Inflammatory Light

Why PRP calm LS

Our priority is always evidence-based control of lichen sclerosus. For many women, a strong topical steroid ointment remains the cornerstone of care, with long-term maintenance to reduce symptoms and help prevent scarring. Some patients ask about regenerative options such as PRP. PRP uses your own blood to concentrate platelets and growth factors. In clinic practice, PRP is sometimes used as an adjunct in selected patients, particularly where symptoms persist, tissue feels fragile, or quality of life is significantly affected. It is not a replacement for medical treatment, and suitability is assessed carefully.

Soothe flare symptoms

Reduces irritation and helps break the itch-scratch cycle alongside prescribed treatment.

Improved skin resilience

Supports stronger, more resilient skin with moisturising, barrier repair, and a clear maintenance plan.

Intimacy Comfort

Addresses fissuring, dryness triggers, and pain drivers to help intimacy feel more comfortable.

Long-Term Protection

Regular review helps manage recurrence and ensures any skin changes are checked promptly.

Doctor-led, private care

You’re assessed by an expert intimate health clinician, with a plan tailored to your symptoms, triggers, and priorities.

Accurate diagnosis and medical governance

Lichen sclerosus can be mistaken for thrush or irritation. We focus on correct diagnosis, clear education, and safe follow-up.

Barrier and irritant strategy

Gentle cleansing, avoidance of irritants, and moisturising support can reduce day-to-day discomfort and flare triggers.

Hormone and health screening where appropriate

More common after menopause; dryness or low oestrogen may add discomfort, so we consider the wider picture.

Most patients need maintenance treatment to keep symptoms controlled and reduce flare frequency.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our treatments

For most women, a strong prescription steroid ointment is first-line to bring symptoms under control. It’s then usually continued as a maintenance schedule to reduce flare-ups and help prevent scarring. Many move from daily use at the start to occasional or twice-weekly maintenance once stable, guided by your clinician.
