Patient's question:
15 years old, female, itchy by Sunday night after changing underwear on Friday (the underwear is clean, just haven't worn it for a long time), what kind of help is desired: what method or medicine can help?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene and maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia at all times. Avoid scratching, soaking in hot water, or using soap. When an infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose-fitting, and avoid alcohol as well as spicy or allergenic foods. In fact, vaginal itching is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
