Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've had intense itching in the external genital area, and I always want to scratch it with my hand. Later, while taking a bath, I noticed white patches on the external genital area. Can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Due to long-term itching and friction, white lesions of the vulva, also known as leukoplakia, have appeared. The most prominent symptom is unbearable itching, so it is still recommended to go to a formal hospital for a detailed examination. Treatment should be based on your actual condition. Vulvar leukoplakia is a very stubborn disease, so it is prone to recurrence during recovery and is difficult to heal.
