Hello, where is the best place to treat leukoplakia of the vulva? Here is a detailed explanation:1. The typical symptoms of fibrotic vulvar leukoplakia often occur in women aged 50–60. The main symptom is severe itching of the vulva. The inflammation affects the labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris, often in a symmetrical pattern, with the skin appearing thick like leather. Generally, there is no swelling or adhesion, and the vulvar color is often dark red or pink. Where is the best place to treat vulvar leukoplakia? In the fibrotic stage of vulvar leukoplakia, the skin keratinization and fibrosis are severe. The keratin layer repeatedly peels off, or due to scratching, it may lead to vulvar redness, swelling, cracking, and erosion. It may cause itching accompanied by a sense of pain. Patients feel the symptoms are severe, but this type of patient responds quickly to treatment. In about 85% of cases, symptoms are significantly relieved or eliminated within a course of treatment.
