How to treat external genital itching and skin breakdown effectively?

Patient's question:

These days, my external genital area has been particularly itchy. When I scratch it, it's not just that the skin is broken, so I want to ask how to deal with itchy and broken external genital skin?

Doctor's answer:

If the external genital area is particularly itchy, it is recommended that you use many topical medications for reducing swelling, relieving pain, and killing bacteria. In daily life, you must pay attention to cleaning the external genital area and always keep the area dry. If the area is moist, it can easily lead to bacterial growth, causing vaginitis. It is absolutely essential not to scratch the itchy, broken skin of the external genital area with your hands. In your daily diet, you should also avoid spicy foods that can irritate the area. In addition to symptomatic treatment for external genital itching, patients also need to pay attention to proper care.
