How to treat vulvar leukoplakia with ulceration?
Disease description:
I have vulvar leukoplakia, but in the past few days I've noticed my condition has worsened, with ulceration appearing. What should I do for treatment?
Treatment methods for ulceration of leukoplakia of the vulva mainly include medication, surgical intervention, and daily care. Medication involves local disinfection with iodophor, followed by application of corticosteroid ointments such as fluocinonide ointment or triamcinolone acetonide ointment to suppress itching and delay skin atrophy. Oral vitamin supplements can improve nutritional status and promote recovery. For significant pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may be taken to relieve discomfort. In cases of severe itching, antihistamines such as loratadine can help alleviate symptoms. If medical treatment proves ineffective, surgical options such as skin grafting may be considered. Daily care is also crucial: maintaining dryness and cleanliness of the vulva, wearing loose and breathable clothing, and avoiding irritants are essential to prevent further complications.
