Abstract
The article describes the main links in the etiopathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of lichen sclerosus, and in particular vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS). The main etiopathogenetic concepts of the occurrence of VLS are presented, existing modern methods of treatment for VLS are presented, among which priority is given to minimally invasive treatment methods.
