A 7‐year‐old girl with lichen sclerosus et atrophiais on her back was reported. The lesion showed a complete clinical cure after one year of topical corticosteroid therapy without any significant atrophy. The prognosis of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus in children is better than that in adult cases, so spontaneous resolution could not be ruled out.
