What is vulvar leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

More than half a month ago, several white spots appeared on both sides of the vaginal opening for no apparent reason. Sometimes they are itchy, and I couldn't help but want to scratch them with my hands. But when I get off work, doing such a thing is inevitably a bit awkward. I want to ask, what is going on with me? Is it a serious gynecological disease? What are vulvar leukoplakia?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, 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. You need timely treatment. The condition of vaginal leukoplakia is very serious. It is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment while paying attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
