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. Through a thorough examination by the doctor, a definitive diagnosis should be possible, followed by targeted medication and treatment. If it is temporarily inconvenient to visit the hospital, you can first use a gynecological wash to clean the external genitalia and carefully observe the effectiveness. Gynecological washes have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, drying dampness, reducing swelling, and relieving pain, and should be effective. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia at all times, wearing comfortable and breathable underwear, and avoiding spicy foods.
