I have lichen sclerosis. If you haven’t already been told these are autoimmune conditions.
I have found that if I treat my autoimmune with high nutritional food and drinks my condition improved. It is very hard . Kale , spinach, chia seeds, flax seeds . I’ll look up the name of the functional medicine Dr I believe in .

I do as well. It comes and goes for me. Sometimes for months. How about you?

I recently read that oxalates are bad for li hens spinach was on the don't eat list.
I was DX with lichen sclerosis years ago by biopsy. I was unaware there were other sorts I think doctors do not join the dots on this one either.

So far sclerosis is my only official made by biopsy awaiting results if a second biopsy. I believe I had a lichen reaction to a medication. A biopsy was done on the rash a few days later I was quite ill and could not get up. After 24 or so hours in bed and rested I began researching the BP med seen what I thought wasn't rash and quit the BP med. On the learning trail learned the other areas that can have lichens and hor they present. I am gussing I have about every type there is to have.
More than that I think I have had the esauphageal one a long time and suspect my now gone sister had it too. In the early 2000s I had a gastro bleed DX with Gerd. My sister was DX with lupus had a web in her throat that needed stretching regularly...this why I think she had lichens too. My sister died if a brain bleed and I have recently been DX with a small bleed. I am wondering if lichens can affect blood vessels in the brain?????? does anybody know.
