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 when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: what methods are used to treat vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the therapies for chronic dermatitis, lichen sclerosus, and vulvar leukoplakia are basically the same. If there is severe itching in the inflamed area, you can use Chinese herbal medicine to steam the vulvar area 1 to 2 times a day, then dry it, and apply a 2% compound testosterone ointment (this medicine can be prepared by the patient under the guidance of a doctor) to the affected skin by gently rubbing it in with your fingers. You can also take vitamin A orally, 250,000 to 500,000 units per day, and vitamin B6, 100 mg per day. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
