Episode Description: Welcome to the Lichen Sclerosus Podcast brought to you by the Lichen Sclerosus Support Network. I'm your host, Kathy, and today we’re excited to bring you a conversation with an amazing researcher, Leia Mitchell. If you’ve listened before, you might recognize her from past episodes. This time, we’re diving into a new possible treatment for Lichen Sclerosus. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Insights into two groundbreaking studies on silicone-based treatments for Lichen Sclerosus. The science behind silicone’s effects on collagen production and skin rejuvenation. What makes this new treatment non-steroidal and why that matters. Eligibility requirements and what participation in the study entails. Special Guest: Meet Leia Mitchell , a passionate and knowledgeable physician assistant with extensive experience in Lichen Sclerosus treatment and clinical research. Her expertise and dedication make her a valuable voice in the LS space. Key Moments: 1:49 – Discussion of two studies: one completed and one actively recruiting participants in Florida, DC, and NYC. 3:35 – Leia explains how silicone aids collagen production and benefits skin conditions, including burn victims. 5:21 – Application process: The silicone gel is easy to use—dab and rub gently over affected areas. 6:26 – Leia highlights the need for effective LS treatments and shares how she became involved in the study. 7:14 – The appeal of non-steroidal treatments and how Leia encountered this promising solution. 9:24 – Study requirements: participants must have an active LS diagnosis, abstain from steroids or other topicals, and undergo pre- and post-study biopsies. 13:10 – The study is initially limited to five participants, but a larger trial may follow pending positive results. 15:09 – Leia shares her excitement for the study’s potential outcomes and outlines the 10-week process, which includes subjective results announced after publication. 34:01 – Leia discusses the goal of FDA approval to make the treatment accessible and affordable for patients through insurance coverage.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Jill Krapf, a leading expert in vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS), as we discuss the challenges and opportunities in LS care and introduce the Provider Continuous Education Program (PCEP). Why Provider Education Matters: LS is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late, leading to years of unnecessary suffering for patients. Many healthcare providers lack the knowledge and training to properly diagnose and manage LS. The PCEP will equip providers with the tools and resources they need to provide effective, patient-centered LS care. How the PCEP Will Make a Difference: The PCEP will provide comprehensive education on LS, covering diagnosis, treatment, and patient communication. It will feature expert-led training by experienced LS specialists. It will focus on evidence-based practices and patient-centered care. It will create a network of knowledgeable healthcare providers who can support each other and share best practices. Call to Action: Support the PCEP and help us transform the future of LS care. Your donation will directly impact the lives of those affected by this often-misunderstood condition.
