You should definitely get a second opinion. It is fine to use the suggested treatment if you do have Lichen Schelorus or another similar skin condition- but the Dr diagnosing you just from an exam is not enough. You need to get a biopsy to confirm that it is LS before you commence with the appropriate treatment. If you use the LS treatments and do not have it, you could do more damage. Get as many opinions as possible and never accept LS treatments without a biopsy diagnosis and never except thrush/infection treatments without getting a swab test as these treatments can also result in skin problems. Don't give up and keep searching for answers and you will find relief. Good luck!
