Patient's question:
I have been suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva for some time. I have been treated before, but the effect is not very good. What should the patient do? What is the best treatment method for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as exogenous malnutrition, refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even swelling, rupture, pain, and burning sensation. Laser therapy can be tested, or a 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Alternatively, a 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
