Patient's question:
Last month I had a cesarean section and had my skin prepped. Now the hair that has grown back from the skin prep after the cesarean section is itchy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The hair that grows after epilation for a cesarean section is itchy, which is likely caused by symptoms of vulvar inflammation or folliculitis. The private area has poor ventilation, so the hair growth environment is not ideal, making it prone to folliculitis. Additionally, I recommend checking a vaginal discharge test to see if there are any gynecological issues. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. You can also use topical rinses and ointments for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity.
