How to treat vulvar leukoplakia

Patient's question:

Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured? How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is considered to be leukoplakia of the vulva, and to prevent malignant transformation, the following treatment is recommended for gynecology: Always maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin, stop using soap or other irritating drugs for washing, prevent scratching with hands, avoid spicy or allergenic foods, wear loose and breathable clothing, and prevent local moisture. For the treatment of lichen sclerosus (based on atrophy and thinning of the vulvar and perianal skin), apply a 2% preparation of propionate testosterone ointment to the affected area, or mix 100 mg of progesterone oil into 30 grams of ointment for local application. Patients must avoid sexual activity during treatment. It is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
