The short communication highlights a debate over the use of acronyms in medical literature, particularly focusing on “LSc” versus “LS” for lichen sclerosus. Despite the contested nature of the issue, we argue for the adoption of “LSc” due to its clarity and to avoid confusion with other medical terms. To best reflect the evolving nature of medical terminology and the authors' expertise, we also advocate for the authors' rights in choosing acronyms within their work.
