No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a skin condition of the external genitals (vulva) of women. LS causes vulvar itching, pain, and burning. In addition, LS causes scarring of the vulva which may cause significant lack of sexual pleasure or pain. Lastly, 4-6% of women with LS will develop vulvar cancer. The purpose of this study is to learn the gene expression file changes in skins affected by LS as compared to normal skins in order to discover the mechanism of the LS, and further to develop effective drugs to treat the condition.
