Vulva itching with small lumps under the skin

What happens if there are small lumps under the skin of the vulva due to itching?

Vulvar itching and subcutaneous lumps are generally caused by vulvitis, vulvar eczema, folliculitis, etc.

1. Vulvitis: Due to the inflammatory stimulation of the vulvar mucosa, it may manifest as local skin swelling, itching, and rash. It can be improved under the guidance of a doctor by using drugs such as povidone-iodine solution, potassium permanganate solution, and clotrimazole cream.

2. Vulvar eczema: It can be caused by allergies, local irritation and other reasons. After the onset of the disease, it can stimulate the skin to produce an inflammatory reaction, mainly manifested as local itching and rash, which may be accompanied by erosion and exudation. It can be improved by using drugs such as hydrocortisone butyrate ointment, tacrolimus ointment, and compound Sophora flavescens detergent as recommended by the doctor.

3. Folliculitis: It is an inflammatory skin disease mainly caused by bacterial infection. Due to local inflammatory stimulation, it can cause local redness and swelling, accompanied by itching or pain. It can be treated with clindamycin phosphate gel, fusidic acid ointment, mupirocin ointment and other drugs. Follow the doctor's advice when taking the medicine.

In addition to the above common situations, it can also be seen in genital warts, molluscum contagiosum and other causes. Seek medical attention actively, and combine laser treatment when necessary. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, keep the vulva clean, and refrain from having sex during treatment to avoid cross infection and delay recovery.
