Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even shrinkage and ulcers, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. It is recommended that you pay attention to menstrual hygiene in daily life, change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation; maintain clean and dry external genitalia at all times, avoid hot water soaking, and avoid washing with soap; underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.
