Patient's question:
Patient Gender: ljccDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Hello doctor, two months ago, I discovered unbearable itching in my private area, along with redness and swelling of the external genitalia, though the swelling was minimal. After using Furinjie for a few days, it improved, but now it has returned. What could be the cause? Is it serious? Could you recommend a type of cleaning solution that works well? I am generally quite careful about hygiene, but sometimes I bathe with soap, which might accidentally enter the vagina. Please provide an answer, thank you.

Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of vulvar itching, including poor hygiene habits and lack of attention to vulvar cleanliness. Local allergies, vaginal inflammation, skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, tumors, and other reasons. It is recommended that you visit a professional gynecological hospital for related examinations such as vaginal discharge to confirm the diagnosis and cooperate with the doctor to take sufficient medication for an adequate duration. Avoid self-medication with suppositories or anti-inflammatory drugs. Self-medication can lead to increased itching after stopping, make the condition more stubborn, and even result in chronic, untreatable symptoms. It is crucial not to use hot compresses. During severe itching, you can use a damp cold towel.
