Laser vs. cream for vulvar lichen sclerosus
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if laser therapy works as well as clobetasol cream for vulvar lichen sclerosus after a previous course of the cream. It aims to offer an alternative treatment option for people who have already completed the standard cream therapy.
