Patient's question:
These days, I noticed an unpleasant odor on my daughter's body, similar to the kind one might experience when an adult has a vaginal infection. When I gave her a thorough check after her bath at night, I discovered those white patches on her vulva. I know this is vulvar leukoplakia, but my daughter says she doesn't feel any other symptoms. I want to know if children can also get vulvar leukoplakia. Can children also get vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Children can also get leukoplakia of the vulva. It is a disease that does not discriminate by age, and men can also get it. I suggest you take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and then implement treatment. The condition of leukoplakia of the vulva is very serious, so it is recommended that patients start treatment immediately while paying attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
