My Lichen Sclerosus Diagnosis

Lichen Sclerosus is often misdiagnosed many times before it is finally correctly diagnosed and treated. This can lead to frustration, disappointment, and worsening symptoms. Unfortunately, this is what happened to Clare Baumhauer. After forty years of suffering, she was told she had developed vulval cancer due to Lichen Sclerosus. My story had many of Clare's twists and turns but fortunately, was caught early. Share your story and help grow our community so we can help each other survive this awful disease. I look forward to hearing from you.
