Hello, vulvar leukoplakia manifests in two forms: and squamous epithelial cell fibrosis. Among them, the type presents with white vulvar color and vulvar atrophy. However, due to the unclear etiology, there is currently no method. Symptomatic treatment is the only option. It is recommended to apply a mixture of vitamin E and petroleum jelly cream locally. Most tertiary hospitals have their own formulated creams. Vulvar local phototherapy can also be used. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
