Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, which is really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What are the costs involved in treating vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be leukoplakia of the vulva, in order to prevent malignant transformation. It is more common in postmenopausal women, primarily, mainly affecting the labia majora, labial sulci, and posterior labial commissure. Treatment: Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin at all times, stop using soap or other irritating drugs for washing, prevent scratching with hands, avoid spicy or allergenic foods, wear loose and breathable clothing, and prevent local dampness, etc. Medications can include hydrocortisone cream, triamcinolone acetonide cream, and hydrocortisone cream.
