Abstract

Forty-six patients with Lichen sclerosus (Ls) of the vulva were treated with peroral etretinate for 3 months. The pretreatment serum levels of vitamins A and E, and selenium were measured. Etretinate therapy proved to be effective in the treatment of Ls; however, it did not affect the vitamin A status of the Ls patients. Vitamin E and selenium levels did not differ from the control values, nor did they have any prognostic value.
