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 my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How is vulvar leukoplakia treated? How is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. It includes primary vaginal atrophy, atrophic lichen sclerosus, leukoplakia, leukoplakic vaginitis, and vaginal dryness. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. Vaginal leukoplakia is different from leukoderma and vulvar vitiligo. Leukoderma and vitiligo do not have distinct clinical diagnostic symptoms and do not require treatment. However, vaginal leukoplakia has clear clinical symptoms, such as itching, dryness, and pain. Based on your description, if you have vaginal 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 suppositories should be placed once daily for 7 days.
