Do you still need to apply ointment if your vulvar leukoplakia doesn’t itch?



Vulvar leukoplakia is generally referred to as white vulvar lesions, and white vulvar lesions that do not itch are usually recommended to be rubbed with ointment.

Vulvar leukoplakia may be caused by heredity, irritation, endocrine abnormalities and other factors. Once diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia, patients need to take medication, which can be used externally under the guidance of a doctor, such as tretinoin ointment, florazepam ointment and other glucocorticoid drugs. Or pimecrolimus ointment can help control local inflammation, improve prognosis and enhance their quality of life.

At the same time, it is necessary to develop good living habits, keep the local skin clean, do not scratch the lesions. Eat less spicy and stimulating food, and eat more food rich in vitamins and protein.

Patients with vulvar leukoplakia should follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups to understand the recovery of the disease. If there is any abnormal discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation.
