    I had some vitiligo about 30 years ago. Who knows, may be tied to my autoimmune system. Went away in a few years. None seen now.... just age spots!!!

    yes, I noticed them on my arms and legs years before I was diagnosed with LS, I still have them, they're small white patches here and there, I pointed them out to my doctor and she said "don't worry about it" then years later I have LS

    if you google lichen sclerosus on arms and legs you can see that it does show up on arms and legs but it doesn't need any treatment

    I've had it on my arms and legs for over 20 years, it doesn't do anything, it doesn't grow or itch or anything

    not like down there!

    I've had a large patch (vitiligo) on the inside of my upper leg since i was about 15. I's quite big now but other than visually bothering me i've never had any symptoms. Only diagnosed with Ls at 31 around a month ago. The consultant did say they can be connected as they are both auto immune disorders
