Itching in the external genital area is unbearable, and the itching becomes even worse before going to sleep at night. It particularly affects rest and work. If you have leukoplakia of the external genitalia, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia may be related to systemic factors, such as diabetes, endocrine disorders, dampness, heat, etc., which can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. Hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or testosterone fish oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the vulva, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Avoid sexual activity during medication. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as paying more attention to private hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
