Lichen sclerosus and biopsy.

[Guest guest]

In regards to Lichen Sclerosus, sorry I just have to speak up, but a biopsy does NOT always confirm LS. Nor is it always white patches and itching, sorry* it's just not so, even though those would be typical signs in a majority of cases. And I've been on the boards even longer *chuckle*, no offense meant but I've got many many articles saying that's not 'always' true but generally. My two cents worth.

Thanks Dee,

That is exactly what I was told. Also as a general rule, most doctors use

biopsys and such tests to confirm their diagnosis. Meaning that most

doctors know what to look for and use tests to make sure they are right, or

to rule out other problems.
