Patient's question:
I have had leukoplakia of the vulva for over ten years. In the past, I took traditional Chinese medicine and it improved, but after two years, it recurred, and I never paid much attention to it. I have been treated with medication and examined with electricity in the hospital, but it wasn't very effective. Can our hospital really cure it? I feel that my labia have shrunk—what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Vitiligo, known in traditional Chinese medicine as "banfeng" or "bai bo feng," is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment. It has started to reappear as painless, localized areas of skin whitening, gradually expanding. The patches are pale white or creamy white, with varying shapes and sizes, clear boundaries, smooth surfaces, and without scales. Friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease, as this is the only way to ensure timely and appropriate treatment. Additionally, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will surely drive away the condition.
