Does pubic hair itching indicate leukoplakia of the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

Doctor: Hello!
I have recently noticed small white spots in the local pubic hair area, and there is some scaling that falls off without scratching. A couple of days ago, there was some itching, but it has almost stopped in the past few days. However, there is still some scaling in the affected area (no scaling in other areas). What could be the cause? Could it be vulvar leukoplakia? Should I go to the hospital to check it? Is it serious?
Please answer! Thank you!
First follow-up question: Could it be vulvar leukoplakia? Should I go to the hospital to check it? Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for tests and examinations to confirm the disease before treatment, as I cannot diagnose you without seeing any skin lesions here. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
