Patient's question:
More than a month, one side of the vulva is swollen, painless, with hard lumpsDoctor's answer:
The condition you described may be caused by folliculitis. The principle is to focus on bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and promoting absorption. Early topical creams, such as 3% tincture of iodine, can be used. If an abscess forms, it can be incised and drained, but squeezing is strictly forbidden before it matures. For significant systemic symptoms, antibiotics are given, with sulfonamide drugs or erythromycin being commonly selected, along with oral multivitamins. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods.
