Abstract
Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease predominantly affecting post-menopausal women. Currently, the first line treatment approach for lichen sclerosus is ultra potent topical corticosteroids for 12 weeks. A treatment challenge to this approach is the risk of steroid atrophy due to the use of potent topical steroids on the genital skin. We describe reduction of erythema and symptomatic improvement following treatment with topical roflumilast 0.3% once daily in a patient with lichen sclerosus who refused topical corticosteroids.
