Patient's question:
Nighttime vulvar itching. The skin around the anus is easily broken during defecation. It has been going on for about a year, and recently it has become more severe. Sometimes it itches during the day as well, and it feels increasingly painful. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the common medications for treating vulvar itching?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, always keep the external genital area clean and dry, and avoid scratching. Do not use hot water for washing or soaps. When there is an infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitz baths, but local scrubbing should be done in all cases. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid unclean sexual behavior and pay attention to your diet. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
