What is vulvar itching? What should I do?

Vulvar itching may be caused by contact dermatitis, eczema, or vulvitis and can be treated with medications, including the following:

1. Contact dermatitis:

If the vulvar skin comes into contact with irritating liquids or has poor private hygiene, it will cause abnormal local skin reactions, leading to itching, redness or stinging of the skin. You can use compound dexamethasone acetate cream, calamine lotion or desonide cream under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Eczema:

Vulvar eczema is usually related to underwear that is not breathable, of poor quality, or diet. The local skin is affected by various factors, and vulvar itching, red papules, or erythema may occur. Erythromycin ointment, zinc oxide ointment, or mupirocin ointment can be applied externally according to the doctor's advice.

3. Vulvitis:

Vulvitis may be related to bacterial or fungal infection. When the vulvar skin is invaded by pathogenic bacteria, it can cause severe vulvar itching, burning or pain, redness and swelling. You can take cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, metronidazole tablets or fluconazole capsules as recommended by your doctor.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be vaginitis, etc., which can be treated with drugs such as azithromycin capsules, and take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's advice to achieve the treatment effect. It is also necessary to do a good job of private hygiene and clean up, and change underwear frequently.
