Vulvar leukoplakia is caused by the partial loss of pigmentation of the female vulvar skin, which causes the skin and mucous membranes to become white, rough, thickened, hardened, cracked, and scaly, or the elasticity of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes is reduced. Therefore, this is one of the causes of vulvar leukoplakia.
