Vaginal leukoplakia can it be treated?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, while taking a bath, I noticed white patches in the external genital area. They were patchy, oval-shaped, and gradually spread, reaching near the anus. There was some itching in the external genital area, with some discharge and a strong odor. The discharge was very thick. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I had leukoplakia of the vulva.
What kind of help is needed: Can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Curable. Treatment: 1. General treatment: Should pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin, stop using soap or other irritating drugs to scrub, and prevent scratching the affected area with hands or instruments. Do not eat spicy and allergenic foods, wear loose clothing, and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear to prevent prolonged hot and humid accumulation and alleviate inflammation. 2. Local microwave therapy, the treatment is mainly based on attention to local itching. 3. Surgical treatment; one simple vulvectomy, two laser therapy.
