Dermatologist vs Gynecologist for Lichen Sclerosis?

I’m 76 and have had Lichen Sclerosus for many years. I recently developed a very painful boil on my genital region. No matter how scrupulously clean you are, these things happen. I also use oestrogen pessaries and steroid cream. It’s a real uphill battle. I am totally convinced that stress worsens the condition.

What you have could be an inflamed Bartholin gland, aka Bartholin’s cyst. It may need to be surgically removed. If it’s not just a normal boil that releases contents and goes away get it checked by your gynaecologist.
I’m so sorry you have LS. It’s so painful. I never can decide it I’m stressed because of the LS, or if stress is enhancing the LS.
