Patient's question:
I am 30 years old, and I have been feeling a bit itchy in my external genital area since a year ago. Over the past year, I have tried many cleaning products and creams, but none of them have worked. Now, my colleague mentioned that Bai Xiao Gao might be somewhat effective, so I wanted to ask if using Bai Xiao Gao externally for itchy external genitalia is really effective?Doctor's answer:
Recurring symptoms of vulvar itching may be related to inflammatory stimulation or vulvitis. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can apply Baixiao ointment to relieve the itching. It has a certain effect in reducing swelling and relieving pain. After using the medication, pay attention to vulvar hygiene and avoid consuming irritating foods. If the itching symptoms do not improve, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the discharge and then change the medication for treatment. Avoid sexual contact. Vulvar itching is a condition that is not easy to recover from. Patients should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating vulvar itching and believe that recovery is certain.
