Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be leukoplakia of the vulva, in order to prevent malignant transformation. For this condition, it is recommended to seek treatment at a good gynecology department: Maintain clean and dry vulvar skin at all times, stop using soap or other irritating medications for washing, prevent scratching with your hands, avoid spicy or allergenic foods, wear loose and breathable clothing to prevent local moisture. Medications such as Fluocinolone Acetonide Cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream, and Hydrocortisone Cream can be used. For those who do not respond to long-term treatment, laser treatment can be considered. For the treatment of lichen sclerosus (based on the atrophy and thinning of skin in the vulva and perianal area), apply a 2% preparation of propionate testosterone mixed with petroleum jelly to the affected area, or mix 100 milligrams of progesterone oil with 30 grams of petroleum jelly and apply it locally.
