Extragenital lichen sclerosus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1073824938

Lichen sclerosus affecting non-genital skin typically presents as multiple guttate, shiny white macules or papules affecting the upper trunk, neck or volar aspects of the wrists: these may coalesce to form white plaques. There may be associated genital disease, especially in women. It may also be seen in conjunction with plaque morphoea, to which it is considered to be related.
