Can lichen sclerosus be cured?
Although there is no definitive cure and relapses are always possible, many things are used to try to treat the symptoms of this disease. Most commonly, topical or oral steroids (or even an injection into the site, depending where the lesions are and how severe they are) or antihistamines are used. Sometimes other medications, such as retinoid-based drugs (such as Accutane) are tried. For severe cases, immunosuppresants (drugs that lower the body's natural immune response) such as cyclosporine can be tried.
