Vulvar disease refers to a variety of conditions that impact the vulva, which is the external portion of the female genitalia. These conditions can include inflammation, irritation, infections, and chronic skin disorders such as lichen sclerosus or vulvar dermatitis. Symptoms vary but often include pain, itching, burning, swelling, or changes in the skin’s appearance. Left untreated, these issues can significantly impact a person’s comfort, quality of life, and confidence. However, with accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, relief is achievable.

How it Works
How it Works
To address vulvar disease, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine the root cause of the symptoms. At Dermestetics, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess skin changes and rule out infections, allergies, or other contributing factors.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include topical medications, such as corticosteroids or barrier creams, to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. In some cases, advanced therapies like laser treatment or phototherapy may be recommended to repair damaged tissue and restore skin health.
Our approach is holistic, combining medical expertise with patient education to empower you to manage your condition effectively. We guide you in implementing lifestyle modifications, skincare routines, and preventive measures to maintain long-term relief.
Complementary Treatments
- Hydrating Skin Treatments: Hydrating skin treatments are specialized skincare procedures designed to replenish moisture in the skin, restore its natural barrier, and improve overall hydration levels.
- Laser Therapy: commonly used to address skin conditions, enhance skin appearance, and promote tissue repair. It works by delivering concentrated light beams of specific wavelengths, which penetrate the skin to treat underlying issues without harming surrounding tissue.
- Allergy Testing: used to identify substances (allergens) that may trigger allergic reactions in an individual. These tests help identify the underlying cause of symptoms like itching, swelling, sneezing, rashes, or trouble breathing.
