1. Classification of vulvar ulcers

1. Acute vulvar ulcer

Ulcers often occur after scratching or when scars break. They are generally superficial, but the pain is severe, accompanied by fever, general discomfort, and swollen inguinal lymph nodes, but most of them can heal on their own. Acute vulvar ulcers caused by Behcet's disease are often severe, with severe redness and swelling at the ulcer site, irregular ulcer edges, digging, severe pain, and yellow pus on the ulcer surface, or the formation of a pseudomembrane. Pus and pseudomembrane were removed and the ulcer base was uneven. Ulcers can develop rapidly and may cause damage to the labia minora, known as the gangrenous type. Another more common type is called the non-malnutrition type, which has milder symptoms, a slower course of disease, and more numerous and shallow ulcers that often heal within a few weeks. However, new ulcers will appear near the old ulcers after they heal.

2Chronic vulvar ulcer

Chronic vulvar ulcers are mostly caused by tuberculosis and cancer, and are prone to occur in the labia, vestibule mucosa, clitoris, etc. The ulcers are small, shallow, irregular in shape, with an uneven base, and are painless, but can cause severe pain after being irritated by urine and friction. It is often necessary to make a pathological section and place it under a microscope to distinguish what type of ulcer it is.
