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, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What treatment is needed for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Treating leukoplakia of the vulva requires interrupting the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repairing vulvar skin lesions, completely restoring the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilizing the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, altering the local tissue growth environment, promoting the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually completely eliminating the leukoplakia. During the self-healing process, attention must be paid to care and management, combining treatment with care, abstaining from sexual activity, and maintaining constant vulvar cleanliness. Avoid using many commercial cleansing agents for washing. When itching is severe, protective ointments can be applied, and scratching should be minimized as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
