It is said that a recent postpartum woman has been diagnosed with this condition, where the skin of the vulva has some discoloration and white spots, which are referred to as leukoplakia of the vulva. It is said that it is not easy to treat, and she is very sad. I don't know how to treat this disease. How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Always keep the affected area dry, ventilated, and cool (wear absorbent, breathable, loose, soft, 100% cotton underwear). Always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. Avoid irritation and friction, and do not scratch. Actively treat chronic conditions such as diabetes, endocrine disorders, and various diseases that cause excessive vaginal discharge. Actively treat vaginitis, vulvitis, and other diseases that cause excessive vaginal discharge. Leukoplakia of the vulva can cause significant harm to patients.
