• Skin Patch

  There are different types of dystrophy that cause white or gray patches of skin, thickening and itchy skin patches, thin areas of skin, or painful sores. [summitmedicalgroup.com]

Workup and Evaluation Laboratory: No evaluation indicated. Imaging: No imaging indicated. Special Tests: Biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. Cultures for Candida or other dermatophytes should be considered. [clinicalgate.com]

Therapeutic options will not be discussed here, as these require a consultation and workup with a therapist knowledgeable in diagnosis and therapy of vulvar pain syndromes. [drmichaelgoodman.com]

Differential Diagnosis and Workup Workup and procedures If the diagnosis is not readily apparent, unaided (ie, naked-eye) or colposcopic examination of the vulva may define areas of abnormality that may warrant biopsy using a Keyes punch or biopsy forceps [emedicine.medscape.com]

The exact dosage applied in each treatment is not critical since the effective amount may be administered in one or a plurality of treatments. [patents.google.com]

Vulvar cancer is usually associated with a poor prognosis. [amboss.com]

Grade I (mature, or well-differentiated) cancers have a better prognosis than grade 3 (poorly-differentiated) tumors. [womenscancercenter.com]

In addition, some dysplastic lesions may have a worse prognosis than isolated carcinomas without leukoplakia. However, dysplastic lesions can regress spontaneously. Therefore, the behaviour of dysplastic lesions is unpredictable. [patient.info]
