Patient's question:
In the recent period, I have been experiencing itching and some whitening in my private area. Some are worried it might be leukoplakia of the vulva. Please ask: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated to improve it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a disease caused by nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucosa, leading to local tissue degeneration and loss of pigmentation. It is a condition where the skin and mucosa remain white, rough, or swollen, and it may recur. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness and dryness, stop using soap and other irritating drugs for washing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, topical corticosteroid creams, or surgical treatment. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to taking medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
