Patient's question:
Female, 10 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene situation. However, recently the little girl always feels itchy in her external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: What should be done for a 10-year-old girl who is suffering from itchy external genital area?Doctor's answer:
Based on the overall situation of the recurring skin manifestations in children, considering whether they are caused by allergies or eczema inflammation, a comprehensive evaluation treatment can be considered through medications such as antiallergics, spleen-strengthening and dampness-dispelling herbs, and immune-boosting drugs. Examples include glycyrrhizin, loratadine oral solution, vitamin C, and others. For gynecological issues, patients can use symptomatic treatment while also applying folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge drink.
