How is vulvar leukoplakia treated

Patient's question:

How to treat vulvar leukoplakia

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be vulvitis. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. You can use potassium permanganate solution to wipe the vulva or take a sit bath to reduce local friction. Antibiotics may be necessary if needed.
It could also be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Avoid spicy foods, maintain a low-fat diet, apply erythromycin ointment, and try using hot water for washing.
The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely harms women's health. Patients should pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment in the future.
