Patient's question:

Can fluocortolone acetonide ointment be used to treat leukoplakia of the vulva? How should it be used? Apply once a week, stop after 10 applications, is that correct? What kind of help is needed: Please provide symptomatic relief.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to use vitamin A acid cream for external use. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid washing the external genitalia with soap or irritating drugs, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to oral medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care.
