    chronic skin condition causing white, itchy, and painful patches

    Lichen Sclerosus (LS) is a chronic skin condition characterized by white, patchy areas that can cause itching, pain, and scarring, most commonly affecting the genital and anal regions. While the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to involve an autoimmune response, and it can lead to significant discomfort and complications if left untreated.
