Severe Vulvar Pain with White Spots – What Could It Be?

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

A few days ago, I accidentally scratched my vulva, and now I’ve noticed white spots all over the area. It burns a lot, and the pain is really bad. I’m not sexually active, so I’m not sure what could be causing this. What should I do?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

You should have this examined by a gynecologist as soon as possible. The white spots and burning sensation could be due to an infection, irritation, or, in some cases, a precancerous condition or lesion. A proper evaluation, which may include a biopsy, will help determine the cause. Treatment will depend on the severity and underlying issue, ranging from medication to surgical options if necessary. It’s important not to ignore these symptoms and get a professional assessment promptly.

 

Thanks
