Welcome to season 2 of Lichen Sclerosus Podcast.

For our first episode, the esteemed Dr. Jill Krapf and I discuss new research into women of reproductive age with LS. This under-studied group is often misdiagnosed or turned away being told ridiculous things.

If you're between 18 and 50 and want to be part of the research head over to lichensclerosuspodcast.com/survey and fill out the questionnaire. Make your voice heard.

We also discuss how the proper application of steroids can make a difference to our disease. She lays out exactly how to use, when to use, and how often to use the medication.

I hope you enjoy this first episode back because I missed you and can't wait to start talking to you again.
