You cannot die from it alone. It mostly just causes discomfort, bleeding and pain. It usually goes away or a treatment by the doctor will help. However, though Lichen sclerosus does not cause skin cancer, the skin that is scarred by lichen sclerosus is more likely to develop skin cancer. If you have the disease, see the doctor every 6 to 12 months. The doctor can look at and treat any changes in the skin.
