30. Comparison of Signs & Symptoms among Pediatric Patients with Lichen Sclerosis (LS) & Vitiligo: Preliminary Findings from an Interdisciplinary Vulvar Dermatology Clinic

Differentiating pediatric vulvar lichen sclerosis versus vitiligo is a clinical challenge. For both conditions, patients often have a delayed or initial misdiagnosis. Both conditions classically present with hypopigmentation, while LS is more likely to present with symptoms such as pruritus, bleeding, and pain. We aim to add to the existing literature by comparing signs and symptoms in a cohort of patients with either conditions.
