Vulvar lesions in females are not uncommon. They affect females of all age groups. The common infections at vulvar skin are fungal, viral and bacterial. They present with rash, itch, boils, fissures and scales. Many of these lesions mimic each-other. The patients with vulvar lesions present at late stage due to social stigma modifying the disease. This article highlights the salient features to diagnose and manage the vulvar lesions early and promptly before their modification at later stage.
