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, which is really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Could you please tell me how to treat vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be vulvitis. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. Potassium permanganate solution can be used to clean the vulva or for sitz baths to increase local friction. Antibiotics may be necessary if needed. It could also be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Avoid spicy foods, follow a low-fat diet, apply erythromycin ointment, and try frequent hot water washing. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vulvar hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
