Family physicians are in an ideal position to identify and treat non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of the vulva, which include lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and lichen simplex chronicus. In addition to recognizing conditions specific to the vulva, family physicians are familiar with dermatologic conditions that affect all parts of the body, and should be able to recognize manifestations of these conditions on the vulva. Moreover, patients with vulvar symptoms often approach their family physician first; therefore, the prompt diagnosis of these conditions is key for successful treatment.

Easy enough to Google this. Excellent article, Kellie.

exciting kellie....have been following most of the webinars...got to catch up with this one....if you spell it out putting blanks instead of dots then everyone will be able to see and it won't go for moderation. This is another one for us!!

well found brill ............!! can't wait to listen in xxxxxxxxxxx   

Really depressing how LS falls right between gynecology and dermatology. Gynaes don't know, derms won't look. 

very interesting info.  I was diagnosed at a free dermatology clinic, thankfully he was willing to look even though he had never seen LS in my age.   I wonder about my estrogen level now because I started with severe itching and still get bouts of itching.

I've messaged Alan to put the link on here properly.
