• There is a small increased risk of developing cancer of the vulva. The exact risk is not known but it is thought that about 4 in 100 women with lichen sclerosus develop this cancer. • The itch and discomfort may cause much distress. • The changes to the genital skin may cause sexual difficulties or problems in passing urine.
