Lichen planus with itchy, bean-sized bumps: How to handle it

Patient's question:

I am a female, 24 years old. Two years ago, I occasionally experienced itching and peeling of the labia minora. Before each menstrual period, there was a bean-sized flesh tumor on the left side of the labia minora under the hair, accompanied by itching, slight pain when pressed, red skin, and scaling. Some hair roots also fell off. I have a boyfriend and no history of promiscuity... These symptoms also existed before I had a boyfriend. What could this be? Could it be a tumor? It usually itches at night when I sleep...

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be a manifestation caused by a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to undergo anti-inflammatory drip treatment, which can be treated with Azithromycin and Metronidazole.
The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects the patient's body but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
