Gold standard treatment is topical corticosteroids (TCS) initially daily for 12 weeks. To avoid new flourishing of the disease a life-long maintenance treatment 2x/week is later recommended. Fractional CO2-Laser has shown a positive effect on vulvovaginal skin quality with improvement of urogenital atrophy and also lichen sclerosus.
