Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured with topical creams?

Patient's question:

I had previously felt itchy in the groin area, but since (women's gynecological diseases) are quite common, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, after a thorough check, it turned out to be vulvar leukoplakia. This condition seems to be difficult to treat and can easily lead to other diseases. I'm really struggling now. I'm using some creams every day, but I don't feel they are very effective. Is it incurable?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no specific medication for treating leukoplakia of the vulva. However, if you want to heal quickly, laser treatment can be adopted. Additionally, some ointments can be used daily to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and kill bacteria. However, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness at all times, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
