This research is about a genital disease known as Lichem Sclerosus and Atrophic. It mainly affects women over 18 years of age. The treatment will involve injections of a medicine that contains cortisone, using two different methods: with a syringe and a needle or with a tattoo machine. Before and after treatment, they will see if women feel pain, itching, burning, scratching or difficulty having sexual intercourse.
There is evidence that injectable triamcinolone has an effect on reducing the symptoms of lichen sclerosus and atrophic. After randomizing the vulva, the vulva will be anesthetized with lidocaine infiltrations. After 15 minutes, interventions will begin. Triamcinolone will be injected using two different techniques: syringes \& needles in one side and with tattoo machine (MMP technique) in other side. The outcomes will be evaluated according to the criteria of pain, itching, burning, itching and difficulty in sexual penetration

Scoring System for Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
On each side of the randomized vulva, symptoms of itching, burning, pain and dyspareunia will be assessed before and after the intervention. The assessment will be carried out by the patient herself, on a scale of zero to 10, with zero being asymptomatic and 10 when the symptom is unbearable.
