What is the reason for a sudden black spot appearing on the vulvar skin?

Patient's question:

Last night, I had a little itch on my external genital area and scratched it a few times. Suddenly, I noticed a small spot. I don't know if it was there before or if it appeared after I scratched it. I felt like it just popped up suddenly. This morning, I took a look, and it's a small, black, rice-grain-sized, circular spot. It doesn't hurt or itch.

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis, caused by inflammatory stimulation, is recommended to be treated with oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. The external genital area can be cleaned with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Drink more water, eat more fruits, and consider taking vitamin C. Engage in regular exercise to enhance physical fitness. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, especially pay attention to hygiene in the genital area. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
