Patient's question:
Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Gynecological inflammation, applying anti-itch medication to the external genitalia?What kind of help do you want: Today, I experienced itching in the external genitalia and went to apply medication. Some anti-itch cream was applied to the external genitalia. However, after applying it once, I did not change the cotton swab and put it back into the bottle to dip some more cream before applying it again. I’m worried that this might also be done for other patients. If the bacteria on the cotton swab are introduced into the bottle, won’t that contaminate it?
