What are signs of lichen sclerosus becoming cancerous?
Warning signs of possible cancer include new lumps, persistent ulcers, areas that do not heal, bleeding, colour changes, or any rapidly growing lesions in lichen sclerosus-affected skin.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Symptoms to watch for include thickened skin, white or red patches, hard lumps, ulcers that don’t heal, persistent pain, and bleeding. Report these to your doctor urgently. Vulval cancer is rare but early diagnosis is vital. For red flag signs see NHS Vulval Cancer Symptoms and BAD.
