CURRENT RESEARCH
- Lichen planus
- We are undertaking the World’s first randomised controlled trial evaluating systemic treatment for vulvar lichen planus.
- We are developing a severity score to better evaluate this condition
- We are looking into potential causes of this disease
- Lichen sclerosus:
- We are evaluating a treatment for vulvar scarring in women with Lichen sclerosus
- We are looking into the long term outcomes of children with Lichen sclerosus
- We are looking into disease trends in Lichen sclerosus
OUR RECENT FINDINGS
- We found women with Lichen sclerosus are more likely to have an autoimmune condition called pernicious anaemia and autoimmune thyroid disease. We made recommendations for women with Lichen sclerosus to have testing for these conditions
- We found women with Lichen sclerosus are more likely to develop scarring and cancer if their disease is not treated
- We found patients with a severe drug reaction called Toxic epidermal necrolysis have faster healing when they are treated with dressings rather than surgical debridement
