Vaginal opening starts to itch and develop small pustules, how to handle it

Patient's question:

The area below the vaginal opening down to the anus has started to feel a bit itchy. A short while later, four small, blister-like sores the size of needle pricks appeared. I used a cotton swab to rub them, and they broke open like oral ulcers. It's not very painful, and there's not much sensation, but it's quite uncomfortable. The area in the groin is a bit damp. Why is this happening?

Doctor's answer:

You might have genital herpes, which could lead to broken blisters when scratching, accompanied by pain and itching. It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping the genital area dry and wear loose cotton underwear. Consider getting a few viral tests to check, and seek timely antiviral treatment after diagnosis. In addition to timely treatment, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on dietary care, primarily on light foods, and avoid cold and stimulating foods. It is believed that this will help drive away the blisters.
