Patient's question:
Recently, during my menstrual period, I noticed a pimple growing outside my vagina. I didn't pay attention, and it kept getting bigger with intense pain. Previously, I had itching and a bad odor in my vagina.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is actually just a simple vulvitis, without any vaginal issues.Suggestions: This situation primarily requires oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, along with topical cleaning of the affected area using a solution. Generally, oral medications like tinidazole or levofloxacin can be taken, while topical options include Jieryin solution or a decoction of Chinese herbal medicine, such as snakeroot (Clematis chinensis), for rinsing the affected area. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from sexual activity for the time being, and avoid wearing tight clothing.
