Patient's question:
Vaginal itching and redness: What causes it and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, vulvar itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include special infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for comprehensive examinations to further diagnose the cause and cooperate with treatment. In daily life, maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness, avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting, and avoid spicy or allergenic foods.
