What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

Patient gender: Male
Patient age: 38
For the past week, I've had particularly itchy external genitalia, especially at night, sometimes to the point where I can't sleep. Additionally, the skin of the external genitalia has turned white, presenting as patches. I've heard people say it's leukoplakia of the vulva, but I haven't gone to the hospital to see a doctor about this condition.

Doctor's answer:

For the past week, I've had an itchy vulva, especially at night when it sometimes feels unbearable to rest. Additionally, the skin of the vulva has turned white, forming patches. I've heard it's called leukoplakia of the vulva. I don't know what the symptoms of this condition are or how to treat it. Leukoplakia of the vulva refers to white lesions that occur on the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva. It is a common chronic disease with an unknown cause, and indeed, it is very difficult to treat. It requires long-term, persistent treatment and regular follow-up appointments. Wishing you early recovery and good health.
