Patient's question:
When I was in sixth grade, I experienced itching in the external genital area. One labia became long and white, and later it spread to the entire external genital area. At the time of consultation, it was said to be normal, and a pill was prescribed, which was crushed and applied to the external genital area. Since then, until now, the itching still occurs occasionally, including swelling of the external genital area, very long labia, dark edges, and red protrusions on the surface. I would like to ask what disease it is and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
The whitening of the vulvar skin is normal and is caused by hormones. Vulvar itching with red protrusions indicates vulvitis. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene in daily life, wash the vulva every night, wear cotton underwear, change and wash clothes frequently, and maintain the breathability and dryness of the vulva. Vulvar itching can bring great harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with light and nutritious foods as the foundation. It is hoped that vulvar itching patients can receive professional treatment.
