Vaginal leukoplakia, referring to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genitalia, can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral orifice and vestibule. Vaginal leukoplakia can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or by applying 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the external genitalia, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. Additionally, it is advisable to wear soft cotton garments. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence.
