Patient's question:
Patient Gender: MalePatient Age: 27
I have recently developed white patches in my groin area, specifically on the vulva. Sometimes it itches, and sometimes it doesn't. There is no pain involved, so I haven't sought treatment for it. However, it has now started to spread, and I'm worried it might affect my entire body.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva 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 affects the urethral orifice and 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.Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as leukoplakia of the female genitalia.
