"Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis of unknown cause that most commonly affects the genitalia (vulvar and penile lichen sclerosus), but it can occur at any skin site (extragenital lichen sclerosus). Outdated terms for this conditions include lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, balanitis xerotica obliterans (glans penis presentation), and kraurosis vulvae (older description of vulvar presentation). Lichen sclerosus can occur in males or females of any age, but it more commonly affects prepubertal or perimenopausal females or males between puberty and age 60 years. It is characterized by white, often atrophic, plaques associated with pruritus and pain that result in genital scarring and adhesion. Complications include pain, sexual and/or urinary dysfunction, reduced quality of life, and an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma with genital lichen sclerosus."

Square cell carcinoma means Cortex-related tissue (like ((Integumentary - Skin - Epidermis|epidermis)), ((Reproductive - Vagina|mucosa))) in regeneration phase, pruritus and pain also confirm that - a contact or separation theme.
But in the lichen with white plaque, scarring and excess tissue is building up, meaning that ((Reproductive - Penis - Glans and Foreskin|Medulla-related tissue)) is involved and self-devaluation theme, too. This can create a chronic pattern.
