What disease is it when the vulva itches and peels?

Patient's question:

What disease is it when the vulva itches and peels, and what medicine can cure it?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is considered to be infected with vulvitis. Vulvitis has two types of transmission: specific and non-specific. Specific transmission includes fungi and trichomoniasis as the base, while non-specific transmission includes staphylococcus, E. coli, streptococcus, etc. Generally, for vulvitis, a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution is used for local sitz baths, 2-3 times a day. Soft soap can be used to gently wash the vulva, but avoid using soaps with strong irritating properties or scrubbing vigorously. Gently pat dry from front to back to ensure the vulva is dry, then apply zinc oxide powder. If there are any ulcers, apply an antibiotic ointment or use a 10% Jie'er Yin solution to gently wipe the vulva. Patients face the distress of vulvar itching directly. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vulvar itching does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
