Vulvar lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is an inflammatory disease which can affect the pediatric age group, although rarely. Its prevalence is underestimated. It may have genital or extragenital manifestations. If left untreated, it may progress to complications which hamper the quality of life. The treatment of choice is topical clobetasol propionate. Here, we present a case of prepubertal vulvar LS, which was refractory to topical clobetasol but responded to topical tacrolimus application.
外阴硬化性苔藓是一种炎症性疾病,虽很少见,但可累及儿童年龄组。其患病率被低估。它可能有生殖器或生殖器外表现。如果不治疗,可能会进展为影响生活质量的并发症。首选治疗方法是外用丙酸氯倍他索。在此,我们报告一例青春期前外阴硬化性苔藓病例,该病例对外用丙酸氯倍他索治疗无效,但外用他克莫司有效。
