Patient's question:
1 month ago, I noticed white spots appearing on my vulva again, accompanied by mild itching. At first, I didn't pay much attention. In recent days, the spots have grown larger, and sometimes the itching has become quite severe. After visiting a local hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as leukoplakia of the vulva.Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely vulvar leukoplakia. This condition is not easy to resolve. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia and believe that recovery is attainable.
