How to treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia

Patient's question:

Under the external labial hair, in the area of the clitoris, there is severe itching, dryness, cracking, and peeling. Last week, I went to the hospital for a physical examination, and the doctor said it was leukoplakia of the vulva.

Doctor's answer:

Apply calamine lotion or shaking lotion. It can also be applied externally for a short period with desonide cream or hydrocortisone ointment. Oral medications include diphenhydramine, promethazine, and cyproheptadine. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a certain effect on treating eczema, and you can choose to wash with a decoction of purple grass externally. The appearance of leukoplakia of the vulva not only affects the patient's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological ultrasound examination in the hospital to identify the cause and treat accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the skin of the perineum clean.
