Herpes simplex vulvovaginitis can it be folliculitis?

Patient's question:

I am a 15-year-old girl and have been experiencing discomfort in my body. I didn't go to see a doctor for it. Please ask: Can herpetic vulvovaginitis be a form of folliculitis?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is more likely to be folliculitis or a sebaceous cyst. Based solely on your symptoms, it cannot be definitively diagnosed. Pay attention to local hygiene of the genital area and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment and care. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
