Vulvar leukoplakia, referring to limited or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Vulvar 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 vulva, 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 underwear. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur.
