Patient's question:
I am a 64-year-old woman and don't know what the situation is. Later, I found out that I had a disease. Please ask: What is the difference between vulvar vitiligo and vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar vitiligo and vulvar leukoplakia can sometimes be quite difficult to distinguish. In clinical diagnosis, when it is challenging to identify them, many instruments are used for differentiation. For example, one commonly used in clinical diagnosis is the Wood's lamp. Under the light, the skin lesions of vitiligo may appear with a silvery-white hue. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle with good sleep habits, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This can help boost the body's immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
