Can medication relieve external genital itching?

Patient's question:

Although I pay close attention to maintaining vaginal hygiene and change clean underwear every day, the symptoms of vulvar itching have reappeared. What medications can be used for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with vulvar itching can primarily use boric acid solution or lead acetate solution to clean the vulvar area. Subsequently, they can apply honeysuckle gel and ointment externally, or use two types of vaginal suppositories such as Xiaomi. If the inflammation recurs acutely, a certain concentration of potassium permanganate solution should be used for sitz baths, and metronidazole tablets should be taken to assist in reducing inflammation.
There are many treatment methods for vulvar itching, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach will differ accordingly. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
