Summary
This study tests whether a fractional CO2 laser can reduce inflammation and symptoms of vulvar lichen sclerosus as well as or better than the standard clobetasol ointment. Forty women with newly diagnosed, untreated lichen sclerosus will receive either laser sessions or a tapering course of clobetasol. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers in skin biopsies and track symptom changes like itching and pain.
