Vulvar Diseases Part II: Conditions in adults and children

The most problematic vulvovaginal conditions are familiar to dermatologists but may exhibit distinct clinical features or medication management due to the anatomic location. Part 2 of this CME will focus on management pearls for treating vulvar diseases. We highlight key conditions such as lichen sclerosus, erosive lichen planus, and vulvodynia. Additionally, we will review conditions that dermatologists may be less familiar with, such as plasma cell vulvitis, desquamative inflammatory vaginitis, vulvar aphthae, and low estrogen states.
