Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as exogenous malnutrition, is characterized by itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even shrinkage and ulceration, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. Laser therapy can 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. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
