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: How is vulvar leukoplakia treated? How is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. It includes primary vulvar atrophy, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar leukoplakia, leukoplakic vaginitis, and vulvar dryness. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. Vulvar leukoplakia is different from vulvar albinism and vulvar vitiligo. Albinism and vitiligo do not have clinical diagnostic symptoms and do not require treatment. In contrast, vulvar leukoplakia has clear clinical symptoms such as itching, dryness, and pain. Based on your description, if you have vulvar leukoplakia, you can receive local subcutaneous injections of 1 ml each of lidocaine, vitamin B12, and triamcinolone acetonide every half month or month for anesthesia. Additionally, vaginal tablets can be placed daily for a total of 7 days.
