Doctor's answer:

Hello, the itching of the external genitalia after electrocautery treatment for cervical erosion may be related to the continuous stimulation of the external genital skin by increased secretions. Additionally, based on your description of the skin lesions of the external genitalia, it may also be vulvar eczema. It is recommended to seek follow-up care at a regular hospital gynecology department promptly.
