In this post, I reflect on my over a 10-year journey to get a diagnosis. I then share why I think it took so long for me to get my diagnosis, including ill-informed doctors, lack of awareness, not knowing my anatomy, and not looking at my vulva.
“what kind of doctor should I see for my lichen sclerosus”? Great question! In this blog post, I review what lichen sclerosus is, what doctors diagnose and treat it, and which kind of doctor you should see to follow your case.
In today’s post, I review vulvar biopsy basics for lichen sclerosus.

Stay tuned for my next post where I will share biopsy tips for before, during, and after the procedure.
