Lichen Sclerosus/BXO Firearms cert

I'm going to see a urologist soon about LS,so I want to ask those of you who have done this were you told that it might be cancer(I know it's very unlikely).

Also does anyone know if the mention of a possible penile cancer triggers an automatic referal to the police to cancel your firearms license

I had my circumcision last November. After the procedure I was told they found Lichen sclerosis, although that was not the reason for the procedure. They biopsied but it was not cancerous. They should check it for you as a matter of standard procedure. Good luck!

Even if you had an actual diagnosis of penile cancer (which seems very unlikely), I don't think that would be relevant to a firearms licence unless it seriously affects your mental health.

If you search for "Guidance for GPs on the firearms licensing process", it says this:

Medical conditions that could be relevant include:

acute stress reaction or an acute reaction to the stress caused by a trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder

suicidal thoughts or self-harm or harm to others

depression or anxiety

dementia

mania, bipolar disorder or a psychotic illness

a personality disorder

a neurological condition: for example, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s diseases, or epilepsy

alcohol or drug abuse

any other mental or physical condition, or combination of conditions, which may affect the safe possession of firearms or shotguns.

The list above is not intended to be exhaustive. Doctors should consider any other mental or physical condition which may affect the individual’s safe possession of a firearm or shotgun, now or in the future.

See also sections 3.34 and 3.35 when a patient has been subject to the provisions of the Mental Health Act 1983 and/or the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003.

A specific list of diagnoses and conditions of around 100 items is being used to underpin the code writing for the computer flagging system.
