Lichen Sclerosus Support Network

LSSN's Mission Every person affected by Lichen Sclerosus deserves accurate and thorough information. This allows them to make sound decisions on their health. We also believe every provider who treats a patient with or possibly with Lichen Sclerosus should be well-informed on diagnosing, treating, and caring for that person. That is why Lichen Sclerosus Support Network's mission is to provide accurate and evidence-based education to patients and providers. Our Vision LSSN's vision is a world where those affected by lichen sclerosus are informed, educated, and get diagnosed early. LSSN will empower vulva owners to take an active role in their vulvar health. Programs such as the “Check Your Vulva” program will create an appreciation and knowledge of the vulva. These programs will allow people to advocate for themselves better, leading to earlier diagnosis. On the other hand, the more Lichen Sclerosus specific education we can provide medical providers, the earlier they can diagnose people. Hence, our second program, the provider education program. By targeting the problem from both sides, we will reduce the current wait time of 5-15 years for an LS diagnosis.
