What should I do if my vulva is itchy and there is scaly white skin on the upper part?

The scaly white skin on the upper part of the vulva that is itchy may be caused by vulvar eczema, vulvitis, bacterial vaginitis, etc., which can be treated by taking medication, applying medication, using vaginal suppositories, etc.

1. Vulvar eczema: If you come into contact with allergic substances or wear clothes that are not breathable, it is easy to cause the disease. The vulva will have an allergic reaction, which can easily cause severe local itching and peeling symptoms on the local skin. You can apply calamine detergent, compound dexamethasone acetate cream, hydrocortisone butyrate cream and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Vulvitis: It is considered to be caused by pathogen infection, but it is also related to obesity. Under the stimulation of this factor, it is easy to cause inflammation of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, causing swelling, itching, burning sensation, and local skin will also appear rough, thickened, and hypopigmented. You can take oral penicillin V potassium tablets, amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime axetil tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Bacterial vaginitis: mainly caused by bacterial infection. Frequent sexual intercourse can also cause this disease. Bacteria can irritate the vaginal mucosa, causing vaginal congestion and erosion symptoms. Inflammation can also extend to the vulva, causing local peeling, itching, increased vaginal discharge, etc. Metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole suppositories, and women's health suppositories can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, vulvovaginal candidiasis may also be the cause. Clotrimazole suppositories, miconazole nitrate suppositories, nystatin vaginal suppositories and other drugs can be used for treatment according to the doctor's advice. During the treatment process, the vulva should be washed regularly with warm water to help the recovery of the disease.
