Patient's question:
It will itch, especially around the private area. It wasn't this severe before. A wash could solve it, but now it's not working. It's been like this for several weeks now. The external genital area still has red, grainy bumps, and it's very itchy. What could be the reason? Is it serious? What kind of help do you want: You want to take medicine at home instead of going to the hospital. What medicine should you take? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
If there is itching in the external genital area, it is usually caused by a bacterial infection, which is commonly referred to as vaginitis. If you really don't want to go to the hospital, it is recommended that you take some antibiotics first, such as cefixime, for example. Additionally, you can use Fuyanjie to rinse the vagina. If this doesn't improve after a few days, it is still best to go to the hospital for a check-up.In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also very important during the treatment of external genital itching. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from the itching.
