Patient's question:
In the recent period, I have been experiencing itching in my private area, and it has also become somewhat pale. Some are worried it might be leukoplakia of the vulva. Please ask: If leukoplakia of the vulva occurs, how can it be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar leukoderma, leukoplakia, or vulvar dystrophy, refers to a disease caused by tissue degeneration and changes in pigmentation due to local nerve and vascular nutritional disorders in the vulvar area. The symptoms include vulvar itching, abnormal vaginal discharge, a burning sensation, and a stinging pain in the vulvar area, where white patches reappear, the skin becomes thicker and harder than the surrounding skin, and the surface appears rough. When the inflammation is severe, or the skin in the affected area develops rust, cracks due to scratching, not only itching occurs, but the vulva also feels extremely painful.
