Chapter 3: Why It Took So Long to Get a Diagnosis
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
If it took you months or even years to receive a diagnosis, you are not alone — and it’s not your fault. One of
the most painful truths about Lichen Sclerosus is that it’s often missed, misdiagnosed, or minimised for far
too long. Many of my patients have been told it’s just thrush, eczema, or a hygiene issue. Others have been
prescribed creams that never worked — not because they were wrong about their symptoms, but because
they were handed the wrong label.
