How to care for leukoplakia of the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I've had an itchy sensation in my private area for several days. Yesterday while washing, I noticed white spots on my external genitalia. However, I don't feel any pain, and I never noticed this before. I'm very surprised. How should I take care of these white spots on the external genitalia?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, female vulvar leukoplakia is treated with hormone drugs, medicinal drugs, microwave therapy, laser, and other physical therapies, as well as surgical treatments such as simple vulvectomy. During the treatment process, it is important to combine treatment, healing, and maintenance. Sexual activity should be suspended. At the same time, the vulva should always be kept clean. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied, but do not scratch. Avoid wearing tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and also avoid consuming irritating foods.
