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 when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How much does it cost to treat vulvar leukoplakia with medication?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is also known as leukoplakia of the vulva, vulvar dystrophy, or vulvar nutritional disorder. Its incidence rate accounts for approximately 5-10 ‰ of the total female population. This disease is not contagious but can be inherited across generations (with a high rate of inheritance). Common clinical diagnoses include pure white frost-like, grayish-white, pinkish-white, or black spots. The affected area can cover the entire vulva, perineum, and perianal region.Treatment:
1) Maintain vulvar skin cleanliness and dryness. Avoid using soap or other irritating medications to scrub the area. Do not scratch the affected area with hands or instruments. Refrain from consuming spicy or allergenic foods. Wear loose clothing and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear to prevent prolonged heat and moisture accumulation, thereby alleviating inflammation.
