Patient's question:
Description of the problem: How to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are many methods for treating leukoplakia of the vulva both domestically and internationally. Common treatments include light therapy, laser therapy, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, fire needles, Jie'eryin, or topical application of traditional Chinese medicine. Conservative treatment often employs a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.If the affected area has severe itching, decoctions of Chinese herbal medicine can be used to steam the vulvar area once or twice daily. Afterward, the area should be dried, and a 2% compound testosterone cream (which can be prepared by the patient under the guidance of a doctor) should be gently massaged into the affected skin with fingers. Oral vitamin A (250,000–500,000 units per day) and vitamin B6 (100 mg per day) can also be taken.
The treatment methods for other conditions are similar to those for this type of skin disease, following the same principles. For example, if there is epidermal thickening or existing psoriasiform changes, a 2% triamcinolone acetonide and urea cream can be added.
