Abstract
According to the criteria of the world health organization, the geriatric population is people who have reached the age of 60 years. Biological aging is accompanied by a progressive decrease in the functional and reserve capabilities of all structural elements of the skin, is a complex process and the result of the influence of both non-modifiable (chronological aging, ethnicity and natural anatomical changes) and modifiable factors (hypoestrogenation, exposure to ultraviolet rays, stress, etc.) Dermatoses occurring with the defeat of the anogenital region in the geriatric group of patients are a big problem not only for diagnosis and treatment, but also significantly worsen the quality of life of patients. Extensive lesions of the anogenital zone are one of the characteristic clinical signs of limited scleroderma, in particular one of its clinical variants — scleroatrophic lichen. (Lichen sclerosis and atroficus). Scleroatrophic lichen (SL) is a chronic autoimmune dermatosis, occurring with a predominant lesion of anogenital tissues, in 85–93 % of cases in women and men.
