1. Lichen sclerosus vulvar dystrophy:

This type of vulvar leukoplakia is also called atrophic vulvar dystrophy. The lesion is not severe in itching, but too much in the vulvar skin, mucous membranes and perianal skin. The affected area becomes white and thin, the surface is dry and easy to crack, and the elasticity is poor. The clitoris often shrinks and adheres to the foreskin. The labia minora flattens and disappears. In the late stage, the skin shrinks like cigarette paper. The vaginal opening is contracted and narrow, affecting sexual life, and the pain is obvious during sex.

2. Hyperplastic vulvar dystrophy:

This is also a common type of vulvar leukoplakia. The vulva is extremely itchy, and the pain worsens after scratching. It usually occurs in the labia majora, the groove between the labia, the clitoral hood, and the symphysis. The lesions are symmetrically distributed, and the lesions are thickened and raised like leather, with wrinkles or scales, eczema-like changes, and the color is dark red or pink.

3. Mixed vulvar dystrophy:

It has features of both hyperplastic and atrophic vulvar dystrophy, with focal skin thickening or swelling surrounding the thin white areas of the vulva.
