How to differentiate between vulvar leukoplakia and vulvar eczema?

1. Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy or vulvar precancerous lesions, is a disease caused by cell damage. Due to cell damage, nutrients cannot be absorbed from the body, resulting in decreased resistance and recovery of the patient's body. Years of illness lead to various gynecological diseases, such as hardening, roughness, itching, ulcers, chapped skin surface, etc. Severe patients are also accompanied by vulvar atrophy or hyperplasia.

2. Vulvar eczema is an abnormal reactive skin disease caused by a variety of reasons, characterized by multiple lesions, inflammatory exudation and severe itching. Allergy is an important cause of the disease. Vulvar eczema can involve the vulva and surrounding skin, and the symptoms are severe itching.

Vulvar leukoplakia:

Localized or diffuse white spots on the female genital skin can spread to the inner side of the lower limbs, perineum and anus, but rarely invade the urethral opening and vestibule. The genitals are itchy, the skin is dry, thickened and white, loses elasticity, and even atrophies and ruptures, with pain and burning sensation.

Vulvar eczema:

A common allergic, inflammatory vulvar skin disease with a pronounced tendency to exudate, generally considered to be a type IV allergic reaction caused by the first allergic, inflammatory vulvar skin disease. Its main characteristics are polymorphic skin lesions, recurrent attacks, symmetrical occurrence, and severe itching. Eczema has scabs. When the condition improves and recovers, the skin will not leave scars.
