Patient's question:
How to treat a 13-year-old girl with candidal vulvitis. After a period of treatment, it improved but then recurred.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to clean the external genitalia and vagina with an alkaline solution such as 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water, as this can alter the vaginal pH, making it more conducive to the growth of yeast. Clotrimazole cream is used for treatment.Treatment: Wash the external genitalia or soak in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then apply a 2% gentian violet solution locally. In recent years, nystatin has shown significant effectiveness.
Usage: Insert a 100,000 U vaginal suppository into the deep vagina twice daily (morning and evening) for a total of 5 days. Wash the external genitalia and apply nystatin cream locally.
