Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What kind of treatment is needed for vulvar leukoplakia in women?Doctor's answer:
The leukoplakia caused by vulvar leukoplakia can spread to the inner sides of both lower limbs, the perineum, and the anus, but it rarely affects the urethral orifice and the vestibule. The skin in the affected area becomes rough and thickens like parchment, with scratches and sometimes recurrent fissures and ulcers. It can interfere with urination and sexual activity, causing women great pain and making it difficult to maintain cleanliness. Medications should be avoided, and soaps or other irritating substances should not be used for washing; if itching is severe, there is a risk of scratching. Underwear should be made of soft, highly absorbent cotton fabric and should be loose, comfortable, and washed frequently. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid spicy foods and alcohol, which are foods.
