Some patients will also have blood in their stools, which will have a certain impact on their health. They need to seek medical attention in time and use drugs such as fluocinolone acetonide cream, progesterone capsules, and triamcinolone acetonide injection under the guidance of a doctor. Vulvectomy is required when necessary. With timely and effective treatment, better relief can be achieved. Patients also need to keep their vulvas clean in daily life.
