Today I am joined by the amazing dermatologist, Dr. Sandy Flann, who is an expert on pediatric Lichen Sclerosus. Yes, you heard that right, Pediatric Lichen Sclerosus!

As we know, Lichen Sclerosus can affect anyone, of any age - children included. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research and resources for parents of children with Lichen Sclerosus. So, today we're going to find out about treatment, what to look for, the progression of symptoms, and how we can help our children become comfortable in their skin.

This is an important episode if you have a child with LS, or if you plan on having children (as it’s important to know some of the warning signs to be able to advocate for your child). Furthermore, because there may be a genetic component to LS, you never know who in your family you may be able to help.

I want to thank our sponsor, Lichen Sclerosus Support Network (LSSN) for making this podcast possible. LSSN is helping get people diagnosed earlier and get the treatment and care they deserve. Follow them on IG and FB @lichensclerosussupportnetwork and visit their website lssupport.net.
