It's been a long time since I thought about the rare disease that I have. I don't actually like to think of it as a disease, but rather a skin disorder.I'm not contagious, there is no cure, but it is under control if I follow my doctor's instructions.Luckily, there are also websites and support groups for those suffering from this unusual condition. I don't think there's been major drama in my life due to lichen sclerosus but it does sound a lot worse than it really is and perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones that isn't as affected by it as others might be.
