Patient's question:
Discovered in 2007. Vulvar color change, external itching. Shijiazhuang Second People's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Common medications for vulvar lichen sclerosus include pyruvate ointment, compound vitamin A ointment, and progesterone ointment. Corticosteroid creams or immunotherapy can also be chosen. Medications can improve symptoms but not cure the condition, requiring long-term use. In girls with lichen sclerosus, the condition may resolve spontaneously during puberty, and pyruvate ointment is generally not used for treatment.
