Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit off, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm asking: what methods can be used to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease caused by local loss of pigment in the vulvar skin, leading to white, rough, thickened, hardened, cracked, scaly, or reduced elasticity of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, and even atrophy and disappearance of the labia majora and minora. Leukoplakia of the vulva can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or by applying 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
