Patient's question:
I have been experiencing persistent itching in my private area, and it has even been scratched open. It's both painful and itchy, making it extremely uncomfortable. It has also become a bit pale. After examination, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. Please ask: How is leukoplakia of the vulva treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be vulvitis. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. You can use potassium permanganate solution to wipe the vulva or take a sit bath to reduce local friction. When necessary, use antibiotics. It could also be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Avoid spicy foods, maintain a low-fat diet, apply erythromycin ointment, and frequently use hot water for washing. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely affects women's health. Patients need to pay attention to treatment during daily life and avoid sexual activity. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
