The LS Guide is here! Please take a look to learn more about LS, and share with others. This is an under-recognised, but not uncommon, condition which can have a huge impact especially if not diagnosed and treated properly. Lots of information and advice for patients and health professionals alike!
The Lichen Sclerosus Guide is now LIVE!
Empowering everyone with vulval lichen sclerosus (LS) to learn about the condition, access the right treatment and live more comfortably.

Cannot wait to launch this on Friday, it's been a real labour of love over the last year and I'm so keen to see what people think! I hope it will help people and make a difference.
