How should vulvar leukoplakia be cared for?

Patient's question:

I am 42 years old. I got leukoplakia of the vulva two years ago. At first, it was itchy, and then the vulva started to hurt, and white patches also appeared. Sometimes, when it was both itchy and painful, I couldn't work and had to stay at home to rest.

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for treatment. Laser therapy can also be tried, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to relieve itching, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the vagina, and refrain from eating spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and changed frequently, and it is important to wear soft cotton products.
