LSA full form in medical term is Lichen Sclerosus Atrophicus, the most common skin condition that often appears on your anal areas or genital. Some other organs are affected, including the torso, upper arms, and breasts. LSA mainly affects post-menopausal women, but it can happen to anyone. Causes and symptoms associated with LSA include hormones, genes, infections, easy bruising, wrinkled skin patches, smooth discoloured skin patches, fragile skin, changes in the tube for urine flow, painful sex, blistering, bleeding or open sores, or some mix of these issues.
Some may be affected by LSA because the immune system attacks the skin. A chronic injury can also cause it to the skin. When symptoms do occur, they usually affect the skin of the anus and genital area.
With medications and treatment, LSA symptoms go away or prevent from getting worsen. Treatment for LSA depends on where it is on your body and how severe your symptoms are. Proper treatment can help improve your skin’s appearance, ease itching, and reduce the risk of scarring. Some people use home remedies like applying Vaseline to the affected area, using soft, unscented toilet paper, avoiding irritants, easing burning and pain, and whatnot.
