Summary

A 45-year-old female presents to the office with itching in the vulvar area. The symptoms have been present for several weeks and are progressively getting worse. She recently felt some skin thickening between the vaginal introitus and anus. Her history is remarkable for genital warts that resolved after cryotherapy 10 years ago. Additionally, she had a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) procedure six years ago for severe cervical dysplasia but has had normal cervical cytology on follow-up.
