11. The Lichens Awaken: A Vulvar Dermatology Saga


Listen Later

Ever been told "it's all in your head" when something's very much happening in your pants? You're not alone.

In this eye-opening and surprisingly uplifting episode of Labia Logic, hosts Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure peel back the layers (with consent, of course) on two misunderstood vulvar conditions: lichen sclerosis and lichen planus.

Together, they explain what these disorders actually are, not just dry skin. Ashley and Meredith also get into the roadblocks to getting a diagnosis, and the crucial role of supportive healthcare providers. Googling your symptoms is not a treatment plan—but finding a community who gets it just might be.

You'll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of lichen sclerosis and lichen planus, the importance of early detection, and why no one should suffer in silence—or without a specialist.
