Patient's question:
How is vulvar leukoplakia treated? While taking a bath, 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 my condition vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This condition is difficult to treat. If there is severe itching in the inflamed area, you can use decocted Chinese herbal medicine to steam and wash the external genital area once or twice a day. Then dry it, and apply a 2% compound testosterone ointment (this medication can be prepared by the patient under the guidance of a doctor) to the affected skin by gently rubbing it in with fingers. You can also take vitamin A orally, 250,000 to 500,000 units per day, and vitamin B6, 100 mg per day. During treatment, it is important to note that when the condition improves and itching subsides, you should not stop taking the medication abruptly to avoid recurrence. Instead, you can gradually increase the frequency of use, such as every other day or twice a week. Avoid spicy foods; prevent colds and all febrile conditions; and avoid hot springs.
