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 this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What are the treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that results in white, rough, thickened, hardened, cracked, scaly, or reduced elasticity of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes due to local loss of pigment in the vulvar skin of women. Leukoplakia of the vulva can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and pain, or by applying 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily care, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to proper medical treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
