Patient's question:
This gynecological condition is very severe and particularly serious. After taking medicine bought from a pharmacy, it did not reduce at all. When I had a gynecological examination at the hospital, the doctor said that there were some white spots on my vulva. While treating the gynecological condition, the doctor also recommended that I visit a dermatology department. Does the condition of female vulvar leukoplakia fall under skin diseases?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal skin hypopigmentation, presenting as white inflammation, is collectively referred to as leukoplakia of the vulva. It is divided into vulvar squamous hyperplasia, lichen sclerosus of the vulva, and the mixed form of the aforementioned inflammation. Vaginal hypopigmentation disease is caused by long-term stimulation of the vulva due to various chronic vulvar inflammations, leading to excessive keratinization of the vulvar epidermis and subsequent shedding of keratinized epidermis, resulting in white appearance. For vulvar white lesions caused by gynecological inflammation, gynecology has relatively more experience. For simple skin inflammation that only occurs on the vulvar skin, dermatology is also involved. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care. It is recommended to maintain vulvar cleanliness and change underwear frequently.
