Patient's question:
Itching in the groin area, dry skin, 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 xerosis. Clinically, doctors often refer to the condition characterized by white, thickened, and swollen vulvar skin 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 condition is a precancerous lesion. TCM treats it based on the inflammation characteristics and clinical symptoms, categorizing it as "yin yao" (vulvar pruritus) or "yin jiu" (vulvar abscess). Yin yao with wind, and yin jiu with dampness and heat.Being diagnosed with vulvar 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.
