Patient's question:
Six months ago, I had a mold infection. Whenever I had leukorrhea, I experienced severe itching, and my external genital area was also swollen. I went to the local maternal and child health hospital for treatment, but the doctors always prescribed topical medications (such as Baofukang Suppositories) without any improvement. I spent over 1,000 yuan, but the condition didn't get better. Later, I got some medicine from a small clinic. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin, Norfloxacin capsules, and a small white tablet, but I don't know what the white tablet was. After taking the medicine, the itching stopped. However, later I noticed that my pubic hair started turning yellow, falling out, and no longer growing (even the pores were gone, and there were no signs of hair growth). I then remembered that when I was treated at the hospital, the doctor had prescribed potassium permanganate tablets to rinse the external genital area at home (a few times I used it too concentrated). I would like to consult if the reason for the hair loss is related to this and how to treat it. Should I see a gynecologist or a dermatologist? I'm really discouraged by the doctors in my area. I hope an expert can help me. Thank you sincerely!Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is likely caused by vulvitis. You can use Jieryin for local cleaning. Generally, you can first clean the vulva with the liquid at night, and then apply the medication. During this period, maintain hygiene of the vulva and change your underwear daily. Avoid sexual activity during treatment and wish you a speedy recovery. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
