Abstract
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Lesions are characterized by ivorywhite atrophic plaques. The anogenital areas of prepubertal and postmenopausal women are usually involved. The extragenital form of lichen sclerosus is rare, and its course is usually asymptomatic. 1 Cutaneous lesions of lichen sclerosus are better tolerated than the erosive genital form, but they lead to unaesthetic lesions that are difficult to treat. Selective treatment with laser appears to be an attractive approach for localized forms of LS. Only one genital case and one cutaneous case of LS have been reported to be successfully treated with a pulsed dye laser (PDL). 2,3 More recently photodynamic therapy mediated by PDL (PDL-PDT) has been suggested to be effective in LS. 4
