Patient's question:
Itching in the groin area, skin dryness, thickening and whitening, how can it be quickly treated, and can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
It includes primary vulvar atrophy, lichen sclerosus, leukoplakia, leukoplakic vaginitis, and vulvar dryness. Clinically, doctors often refer to the condition characterized by white, thickened, and swollen vulvar skin and mucosa as leukoplakia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is called yin xian (vulvar dermatitis), yin jiu (vulvar abscess), yin xi (vulvar erosion), and yin tong (vulvar pain). This disease is a precancerous lesion. TCM treats it based on the different inflammatory characteristics and clinical symptoms of the disease, categorizing it as "yin yao" (vulvar pruritus) or "yin jiu" (vulvar abscess). Yin yao with wind, yin jiu with dampness and heat.Being diagnosed with leukoplakia indeed brings numerous pains and inconveniences to patients and their families. However, in daily life, many people with this condition are unaware of the precautions they should take.
