Patient's question:
During this summer, I didn't pay much attention, and I wore jeans too much, which led to some white spots appearing on the outside of my vulva. It was extremely itchy and painful. I went to the hospital for treatment and received topical medications for cleaning and oral medications. The doctor also said it's important to pay attention to daily care for vulvar leukoplakia. How should vulvar leukoplakia be cared for?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia First, it is essential to maintain the affected area dry, well-ventilated, and cool; wear absorbent, breathable, loose, soft, 100% cotton underwear, and avoid wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester.Second, avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as alcohol, raw onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, freshwater fish (carp, silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp), shrimp, crabs, chicken, duck, and goose meat.
For severe vulvar moisture: Avoid sugar, sweets, apples, and cold, greasy foods. Always keep the vulva clean, avoid irritation and friction, and refrain from scratching. Generally, a bamboo red leukoplakia (Vulvar Leukoplakia Disappearing Agent) can be used for cleaning.
