What should be noted about vulvar leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

Every one or two days, I use physiological saline to wipe the private parts a few times because this area is quite moist and prone to bacterial growth. However, I noticed white spots on the vulva. After checking a few times, it turned out to be leukoplakia. What should be paid attention to when dealing with vulvar leukoplakia?

Doctor's answer:

The external genitalia have again appeared white spots, which may be due to vulvar dystrophy leading to leukoplakia of the vulva, or possibly tinea corporis caused by fungal infection, or it could be due to vitiligo, which is characterized by loss of subcutaneous melanin. It is necessary to seek medical attention early for a thorough examination, enhance nutrition, supplement essential vitamins and trace elements, and adjust the mindset. Leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
