What should I do?History of Treatment and Effect: I had a similar issue before, but it resolved quickly, only causing occasional pain.

Doctor's answer:
Hello: It may be a symptom of acute vulvitis. First, you may feel discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, you may notice varying degrees of swelling and congestion in the skin and mucosa of the vulvar area. In severe cases, it may lead to erosion, ulcers, or large patches of eczema, accompanied by dysuria and pain. Additionally, when furuncle occurs in the vulvar area, it can cause severe swelling and pain due to the formation of abscesses, which may further develop into boils.Advice: Seek medical attention promptly to have the cause identified. Early detection and treatment are key.
