Causes and symptoms of vulvar lichenification

Women all want to make their vulva healthier so that they can have a higher quality of life. However, some women develop lichenoid lesions on their vulva due to various reasons, which makes them particularly worried. Therefore, they want to fully understand the causes and symptoms of vulvar lichenification. The following content gives a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

(1) Lichen sclerosus is a chronic atrophic disease. At the onset of the disease, there are needle-sized papules slightly higher than the skin surface, white with a waxy luster and slightly hard. The papules can expand and fuse, the skin and subcutaneous tissue gradually atrophy, the labia majora become dry, the skin becomes white, and some are as thin as parchment, with a subjective feeling of severe itching. This disease is best treated with Chinese medicine for internal and external washing. Our hospital has also developed a set of effective prescriptions in recent years. Hormone ointments should never be used for this disease. Because this type of cream will make the skin more atrophic.

(2) Vulvar dermatitis includes eczema and neurodermatitis in the vulva. In addition to mainly occurring in the labia majora and labial groove, it can also affect the area around the anus. Due to the long course of the disease and repeated attacks, coupled with itching, friction, soaping, and scalding with hot water, the skin texture can become thicker and the color can become white or grayish white. However, vulvar dermatitis often has a history of acute attacks of skin erythema, papules, exudation, and erosion. It can be distinguished from this disease. Female vulva eczematous changes, lichenification, cracking, ulceration or secondary infection should be treated early. The cancer rate in patients who do not recover for a long time is 5%-10%.

(3) Many patients first develop vitiligo in the female vulva, or in other parts of the body at the same time. Vitiligo usually has clear boundaries, and the skin is elastic and shiny, the same as a normal vulva, only with loss of pigmentation.

After understanding the above content, I believe that many women have fully understood the causes and symptoms of vulvar lichenification. After a comprehensive understanding, in order to no longer cause harm to their vulva, they must go to a large hospital as soon as possible and receive comprehensive treatment to make their vulva healthier.
