A wide range of cutaneous diseases can affect genital area. Some of these dermatoses are predominantly present in vulvar area while others primarily occur in extra-genital skin areas. Genital area is susceptible to maceration and the combination of moisture and warmth together with the increased penetration of topical agents make the region vulnerable for mechanical and chemical irritation. Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) is a secondary condition precipitated by chronic itching and scratching. Scratching may be caused by some dermatoses or candida infection. Chronic systemic dermatoses most commonly affecting vulval area are various eczemas, psoriasis, lichen sclerorus and lichen planus.
多种皮肤疾病可累及生殖器部位。其中一些皮肤病主要出现在外阴区域，而其他一些则主要发生在生殖器以外的皮肤区域。生殖器部位易于浸渍，水分和温暖环境的共同作用，以及外用药物渗透性的增加，使得该区域易受机械性和化学性刺激。慢性单纯性苔藓（LSC）是由慢性瘙痒和搔抓引起的继发性病症。搔抓可能由某些皮肤病或念珠菌感染所致。最常累及外阴区域的慢性全身性皮肤病有各种湿疹、银屑病、硬化性苔藓和扁平苔藓。
