What are the reasons for leukoplakia in the vulva?

Patient's question:

About a month

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affect the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even atrophy and ulcers, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. There are multiple causes of vaginal leukoplakia, but the main cause is still infection and inflammatory stimulation of the genital area.
