Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Please provide more information on medications used to treat leukoplakia of the vulva, such as hormone-based creams. What are the best topical creams available, and what should one purchase? Please include as many medication names as possible.Doctor's answer:
Hello, medication can include vitamin supplements. If the external itching is severe and affects sleep, you may take some sedative drugs. Locally, you can apply 1% hydrocortisone and 1-2% testosterone cream. This treatment can be maintained for 6-8 weeks, with 3-4 applications per day. While adhering to long-term treatment, it is essential to maintain long-term cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area, avoid wearing tight underwear, and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear. Eating fewer allergenic foods is also very necessary.
