Patient's question:
Doctor, please have a look at my leukoplakia of the vulva. How many years has it been? Can it heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar lichen sclerosus, is a disease characterized by atrophy, thinning, and depigmentation of the skin in the vulvar and perianal areas, presenting as white inflammatory changes. Based on the photos you uploaded, the skin of the vulva and perianal region has again shown swelling and thinning. It is recommended that you seek systematic treatment at a regular specialized hospital. Maintain good hygiene of the vulva daily, avoid irritating scrubbing of the vulvar area, refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods, drink less alcohol, wear breathable cotton underwear that is loose-fitting, and avoid overworking in terms of lifestyle.
