About Lichen Planus & Lichen Sclerosus
Lichen Planus is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by purple, polygonal, pruritic papules, and plaques. The lesions are often covered by lacy, reticular (netlike), white lines known as Wickham striae. Lichen planus can affect any skin-derived tissues, including the skin (most commonly), nails, and mucous membranes (like the nose or mouth).
At first, it typically affects the surfaces of the wrists, forearms, and legs and can be diagnosed via a skin biopsy taken by a doctor.
Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition marked by white scaly plaques involving anogenital areas.
Lichen Sclerosus lesions are usually seen as white plaques, which may be atrophic or thickened, often present on labia minora and majora but may involve perineum and perianal areas.
The Lichen Planus and Lichen Sclerosus Studies are two different studies: one for Lichen Planus and one for Lichen Sclerosus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a research study?
A research study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational cream – these may include how well an investigational study cream works for a certain condition. All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved and prescribed to patients.
Why are research studies important?
A research study is the process by which new and innovative medications, interventions and treatments are approved and brought to market, so people can live happier and healthier lives. Even over-the-counter medications, such as NSAIDs, you may have used to counteract a headache, have gone through the clinical research study process before it was available at your local pharmacy.
