2. Unexplained whitening and thickening of the vulva skin is mostly caused by hyperplastic malnutrition;

3. Any case where the skin of the vulva turns white but there are no subjective symptoms and the skin is normal except for the white color is leukoplakia;

4. Thin and gray skin indicates the possibility of lichen sclerosus malnutrition;

5. Atrophy of the labia majora, minora and clitoris, contraction, tightness and cracking of the labia minora skin are symptoms of atrophic vulvar malnutrition.
