Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Could you please tell me: how can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be leukoplakia of the vulva. To prevent malignant transformation, it is recommended to seek treatment at a good gynecology department: Maintain clean and dry external genital skin at all times, stop using soap or other irritating drugs for washing, prevent scratching with hands, avoid spicy or allergenic foods, wear loose and breathable clothing to prevent local moisture, etc. Medications that can be used include Fluocinolone Acetonide Cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream, and Hydrocortisone Cream. For those who do not respond to long-term treatment, surgery or laser therapy can be considered for the treatment of lichen sclerosus (based on atrophy and thinning of the skin of the vulva and perianal area).
