ABSTRACT
Lichen sclerosus (LS) and lichen planus (LP) are chronic inflammatory dermatoses of unknown aetiology. They pose the most important differential diagnoses of inflammatory dermatoses in the genital area. There is often a delay in diagnosing LS and LP and subsequently treatment is initiated late in the course of the disease, which will lead to scarring and a decreased quality of life. There is an increased risk of the development of malignancies in the genital area in both diseases; however, early and continuous treatment with potent topical steroids will decrease this risk.
