scleroderma and LS were closely related, which continues to this day. In 1901, pediatric LS was described. From 1913 to present, the concept that scleroderma is not closely related to LS also was formed. In 1920, Taussig established vulvectomy as the treatment of choice for kraurosis vulvae, a premalignant condition. In 1927, Kyrle defined LS ("white spot disease") as an entity sui generis. In 1928, StĂĽhmer described balanitis xerotica obliterans as a postcircumcision phenomenon. In 1936, retinoids (vitamin A) were used to treat LS. In 1945, testosterone was used in genital LS. In 1961, the use of corticosteroids started. Jeffcoate presented an argument against vulvectomy for simple LS. In 1971, progesterone was used in LS. Wallace defined clinical factors and the epidemiology of LS. In 1976, Friedrich defined LS as a dystrophic and not an atrophic condition, and "et atrophicus" was dropped. The

women throughout six years, cancer occurred for 4.7% of patients who were only "partially compliant" with corticosteroid treatment, while it occurred in 0% of cases where they were "fully compliant". In a second study, of 129 patients, cancer occurred in 11% of patients, none of whom were fully compliant with corticosteroid treatment. Both those studies, however, also said that a corticosteroid as powerful as clobetasol is not necessary in most cases. In a prospective study of 83 patients, throughout 20 years, eight developed cancer. Six already had cancer at presentation and had not had treatment, while the other two were not taking corticosteroids often enough. In all three studies, every single cancer case observed occurred in patients who were not taking corticosteroids as often as the study recommended.

Most males with mild or intermediate disease, restricted to

However, randomized-controlled trials are needed to further identify the optimal potency and regimen of topical corticosteroids, and assess the duration of remission and/or the prevention of flares patients experience with these topical therapies.

There is no definitive cure for LS. Behavior change is part of treatment. The patient should minimize or, preferably, stop scratching LS-affected skin. Any scratching, stress or damage to the skin can worsen the disease. Scratching has been theorized to increase cancer risks. Furthermore, the patient
