There is no history of autoimmune disorders in my family so could my LS have been triggered by overgranulation and trauma of Fenton’s procedure that left further scarring? Thank you - Eileen

The trigger factors for LS are not currently well understood. However, it is known to occur in areas of trauma/scars, this is known as the 'koebner phenomenon'. This is sometimes seen on non-genital skin too. I'm afraid it is not possible to say whether the Fentons' procedure and subsequent overgranulation/scar was the trigger for your LS developing.
