Hi,welcome,
Well,leukoplakia is a group of skin lesions that can be benign,pre malignant or malignant.Usually,diagnosis is based on biopsy depending on what type of lesion it is.Treatment is mostly surgical.If its benign then at her age,i dont think any active treatment needs to be done.However,if proved malignant then surgical treatment would be necessary.
