Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is more likely that there is a bacterial infection, which could be folliculitis. This would cause local redness, swelling, and pain. Symptomatic treatment can be applied. It is recommended to take Metronidazole tablets and Amoxicillin capsules under the guidance of a doctor, following the instructions for use. Apply Erythromycin ointment locally for treatment, also following the instructions. Pay attention to hygiene. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
