Patient's question:
I developed a sore on my labia yesterday. It's a bit painful when wearing underwear, but otherwise, I don't feel any other discomfort. However, I've been eating spicy food a bit too much recently. Could this be a problem?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of mild inflammation and irritation, which could be caused by factors such as heatiness, poor hygiene, or tight synthetic underwear, it is recommended to use a mild saline solution for cleaning, and oral anti-inflammatory medications like Amoxicillin, Roxithromycin, or Norfloxacin can be effective. For topical treatment, you may try erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. Additionally, pay attention to proper hygiene, drink plenty of water, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid spicy foods. I hope this helps, and wish you good health.
