Why Seek Treatment for Vulvar Skin Conditions?

Dr. Karen Toubi’s expertise ensures accurate diagnosis, effective treatments, and ongoing support to manage and mitigate symptoms.

Lichen sclerosus (LS) - A Comprehensive Overview

Lichen Sclerosus, often abbreviated as LS, is one of the primary vulvar skin conditions we treat. It is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that predominantly affects the genital area, including the vulva. LS can occur in women of all ages, and its symptoms can vary in severity.

Common Features of Lichen Sclerosus:

LS often presents with severe itching, which can lead to discomfort and irritation.
Affected skin may become thin, and fragile, and appear white in color.
In advanced cases, scarring or adhesions can develop, leading to fusion of the labia or narrowing of the vaginal opening.
LS can cause pain during sexual intercourse or everyday activities.

Other Vulvar Skin Conditions We Address:

In addition to Lichen Sclerosus, we specialize in managing various vulvar skin conditions, including:

Lichen Planus: An inflammatory autoimmune disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Lichen Planus can cause discomfort and erosions in the vulvar area.
Lichen Simplex Chronicus: Also known as neurodermatitis, this condition involves chronic itching and scratching, leading to thickened, irritated skin.
Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VIN): A precancerous condition that can affect the vulvar skin, requiring careful monitoring and management.
Plasma Cell Vulvitis: A rare, chronic, inflammatory disorder of the vulva, characterized by bright red mucosal plaques.
Vulvar Itching: Persistent itching of the vulva can have various underlying causes, and Dr. Toubi can determine the specific etiology and provide targeted treatment.
Aphthous Ulcers/Behcet’s Disease: Painful genital ulcers with a yellow base, commonly seen in young women of Caucasian descent.
Pruritus Vulvae (Vulvar Itching): Recurrent vulvar itching with multiple potential causes, including infections and skin conditions.
Vulvar Granuloma Fissuratum: Characterized by recurrent splitting or tearing of the vulvar skin, often associated with vulvar skin conditions.
