What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?

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, which is really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Could you please tell me what the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as leukoplakia of the vulva, is a chronic nutritional disease of the vulva. It includes primary vulvar atrophy, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar leukoplakia, leukoplakic vaginitis, and vulvar xerosis. Clinically, doctors often refer to the condition where the skin and mucosa turn white, become rough, and expand as vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia frequently recurs in women during middle age or around menopause. The inflammation primarily affects the labia minora, the inner half of the labia majora, the clitoris, the clitoral hood, and the perineum, but it does not recur on the vaginal wall, the vaginal vestibule, or around the anus.
